    US latest wars have cost the Treasury 4.4 trillion USD, says academic report

    The period covers since 2011 and involves Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan

    United States President Barack Obama cited cost as a reason to bring troops home from Afghanistan and referred to a one trillion US dollars price tag for US wars. The figure grossly underestimates the total cost of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan to the US Treasury and ignores more imposing costs yet to come, according to a study released Wednesday.
