(Credit: DanielBendjy via iStock) On Memorial Day, we pay respects to the fallen from past wars — including the more than one million American soldiers killed in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam. Yet the nation’s longest and most expensive war is the one that is still going on.
