What will it cost?
What does the US pay the family when a soldier is killed?
What do they pay and what does it cost to treat someone that is permanently disabled and unable to work for the rest of their life?
(missing limbs, etc)
thanks
Additional Details
For the people who say go to CNN.com, where? I don't see it.
For the people who say you cannot put a price on human life: It is my belief that if the US govt gets someone killed or disabled, it is the government's responsibility to pay for it. What does the government pay to the family of a dead soldier and what does it cost for the medical care, food, and housing for a soldier that has lost their limbs or is unable to work for the next 60+ years of their life?

I was asked why this matters: some people do not care about lives, but if you can show them how it effects the economy or their taxes, they understand.
When someone goes from being a working taxpayer to someone the taxpayers have to support, it is a double whammy.
