ERIC ZUESSE: At least six times — in 2006, twice in 2007, in 2008, in
2010, and most recently at the end of 2014 — the Congressional Research
Service has reported to Congress the
U.S. Government’s costs, thus far, for its invasions of Iraq and of
Afghanistan. All times, medical costs for treatments of the surviving
U.S. invaders, and disability-payments to them for their war-related
disabilities, were excluded, because, according to CRS, that information
is “not available from the VA.”
