Rapaire, it seems that this it limited to direct costs.   There is no indication that these figures include the cost of servicing the tremendous debt caused by the war. At least half of the budget deficit is the direct result of the increase in military and "reconstruction" spending (without any balancing increase in revenue inputs), and deficits can only be accounted for by increased government borrowing and the resulting interest payments.

The human and moral costs are uncalculatable.
