what questions would others tell you to ask the recruiter?
If no one were a soldier, there would be no wars. This is a truism, but it is based on incomplete reasoning. In preparing you to decide whether or not to enlist in the military, this web-site (asktherecruiter.com) is giving you a set of questions to get answers for. Other web-sites, some of them pro-military, and others oriented toward religion or job-searching, suggest other questions. Explore them. Remember, some of these pages won’t tell you all about who sponsors them.

how much money and death did the “war on terror” cost, 2001-22?

The most recent example in U.S. history has been the “War on Terror,” started in 2001.
Here are the estimates of that cost.
Pay attention to where the figures don’t match, and where one or another source includes or excludes certain costs.
