The true cost of the war on Iran | This is America

Five months into America's war against Iran, US service members have been killed and the Pentagon has spent $37.5bn and now the defense secretary is asking Congress for $67bn more. The Pentagon is already reportedly cutting training and maintenance to free up cash. And this week, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to stop the war without congressional approval. So what is this war costing America — in money, in readiness, in lives and reputation? And how much longer will Congress keep signing the checks? Presenter: Alex Marquardt Guests: Mark Cancain, former Pentagon official and Senior Adviser with the CSIS Matthew Kroenig, the Vice President for Geostrategy at Atlantic Council.
