Cost of war et Afghanistan: combien coûte cette guerre?

Quelques infos tirées d'un article du Huffington post et un lien pour voir comment les américains peuvent calculer leur contribution personnelle à la guerre (si j'étais américain, le conflit me coûterait 4700$/année...): http://rethinkafghanistan.com/iou/

The group, a project of the Brave New Foundation, has created a Cost of War calculator, allowing Americans to figure out how much of their tax dollars are going toward the war, based on their income and filing status.

For example, a single person making $40,000 in 2010 essentially paid $1,694 for the war. A married couple filing jointly and earning a combined $100,000 has $4,757 of their tax dollars going toward the effort.

The United States is spending more than $100 billion a year in Afghanistan, amounting to about $2 billion a week.

The Defense Department received $513 billion in funding in the FY 2011 continuing resolution, approximately $5 billion above last year's level. Another $158 billion is provided for overseas contingency operations (emergency funding). The war in Afghanistan will receive $108 billion of that funding, while the war in Iraq will receive $50 billion.
