We need to charge every american resident - except the immediate families of active duty troops - a monthly tax (including illegal aliens) which is itemized strictly to pay for the war. It could be scaled to the prior year's taxable income so everyone is paying the same percent of their income.

Everyone needs to see how much money war costs. That won't bring home the human cost, but it would make people far more interested in what is going on with regard to our multiple wars. Our troops are putting their lives on the line every single day. The least the american citizenry can do is pay attention to what is going on and pay for it.
