Answer:

Wars cost too much.

That’s really not a surprise. The surprise is how much more they cost than we’ve been told.

It might help to think of the nation’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq like a pair of icebergs. The Pentagon tells us how much we’ve each paid for the wars. But that only tells us how much of those icebergs we can see above the waves. While it includes totals for war fighting, it doesn’t track the Pentagon’s bigger war budget, interest paid on money we’ve borrowed to fight the wars, veterans’ care, and other ancillary costs. There’s a whole lot more hidden beneath the waves. The real issue isn’t whether the cost of war is high; the issue is why the U.S. government keeps under-estimating it, and why U.S. citizens and taxpayers keep tolerating it.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The "Information Revolution" can absolutely be considered a true revolution. This is because the information revolution brought a radical change in regards to American society.

In just the last 20 years, the way Americans have been able to communicate and receive news has changed dramatically. The development of the internet and its ability to share information with millions of individuals simultaneously has changed the world forever. Before the invention of the internet, people were limited to information from TV, books, newspapers, etc. Now, citizens have access to more information than any other time in human history. Instead of seeking out books in libraries or newspapers, citizens rely on social media and websites that have everything they want to know.
