I understand the enormous ammount of wounded soldiers drive up costs for lifelong treatments, but which other major factors can you point to in modern warfare, that differs from WW2. Is the munitions used more expensive, or is it the outsourcing of much of the logistic services to private companies part of the answer too?
Oh and this IS a book. The article I linked is just a preview.
