Why have the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq lasted longer than any others in American history? One view is that the move to an all-volunteer force and drones has allowed the wars to continue almost unnoticed for years. Taxing Wars shows that the way that America pays for its wars is equally crucial. Recent wars have been financed by debt rather than taxes that hit ordinary Americans' wallets. This shift has eroded accountability and contributed to the phenomenon of perpetual war.
