An inspirational viral video that makes the real cost of war more tangible… “War has no return — you’re not producing a product.”
This is an excellent viral video about the true cost of war. Nicely put together, clean typography, illustrations, not overly keen on the audio but 2/3 aint bad. I think it’s important whatever the subject, especially war to make the real costs, human & financial apparent. Some of the facts here are astounding! I felt the quote that accompanied the youtube video summed up beautifully…
“I think people are becoming more aware of these guns or butter questions,” said Gary Gillespie, “But when you talk about $720 million a day, even people who work on this issue are shocked by the number and shocked by what could have been done with that money. War has no return — you’re not producing a product.”

Brilliant post!
Wow, $720 million a day is an astounding amount of money, and at the risk of sounding ignorant I hadn’t even begun to consider how much money this war has cost.
The only reccurring statistic we hear about in the news is the human cost, the amount of people who have died for something which appears to be making matters worse.
You’re right. When you hear the amount of money in context, it really is quite shocking.
