[quote:a1fa9]Still doesn't negate the fact that it is the third most costly war in US history. [/quote:a1fa9]

Does it change it? No, but compare the wars where we have had extensive reconstruction afterwards, this is the least costliest war we've fought in that manner. Comparing the reconstruction effort to the near non-existant reconstruction effort of the First Gulf War is just ignorant. It's premise naturally makes it more expensive.
