@cbsnews: Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said Wednesday that acting Pentagon Comptroller Jules Hurst's cost estimate of $25 billion for the war in Iran "is not the total cost of the war, by any understanding." "It is possible that that is one component of the total cost of the war, but I think it is not possible that that covers all [...] of the cost of the war," he said. #iran #war #congress #politics #pentagon
Honestly how do you come up with a true number outside of munitions? We pay our military regardless if in war or not, the military is always doing practice exercises, test flights, ships are at sea war or not.

Don't we have to pay those cost whether we have a war or not we have to pay for the soldiers and the ships to be at sea. We have to pay their healthcare and everything else when there's no war.

it is likely that this only covers additional costs, compared to the existing costs and likely does not cover the moved assets before the conflict officially started
