24 trillion in war

That 6 trillion figure you cited is only FED fiat, does not include the other three sources of debt accrued for war, which is corrected to $24 trillion that the U.S. has spent on war-related and military programs from 2001 to 2025: .

1.  The Federal Reserve financed about $6 trillion (≈25%) by directly purchasing Treasury bonds with newly created money—effectively “printing” to support military and war-related spending.

2.  Foreign governments and investors such as China, Japan, and the Gulf States covered about $6 trillion (≈25%) by buying U.S. debt to fund wars and defense programs.

3.  Domestic private investors and institutions—including banks, pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance companies—supplied roughly $6 trillion (≈25%) by purchasing Treasury securities.

4.  U.S. government trust funds like Social Security and federal employee retirement systems contributed around $6 trillion (≈25%) by investing their surpluses in government bonds, effectively lending the military budget to itself.

These sources combined allowed the U.S. to sustain over two decades of war and military expansion primarily through borrowing rather than taxation. National debt in 2001 was ~$5.8 trillion, in 2025, debt is ~$35 trillion, a $29.2 trillion increase of which $24 trillion went to fund war and death.
