'America First' means counting the true cost of America's wars

Original: ‘America First’ means evaluating real cost of our wars — and who pays the ultimate price

A new opinion piece argues that an 'America First' foreign policy should start with an honest accounting of the real costs of American wars — financial and human — and asks who ultimately pays the price when the United States goes to war. The argument challenges policymakers to weigh the burden borne by service members and taxpayers before committing to future conflicts.

Why now: Ongoing debates over US military involvement and foreign policy spending are keeping attention on the human and financial cost of war.
