105 missiles. all reached target

US
66 Tomahawk
19 air to surface missiles


Let's see....

Tomahawk Missiles
66 @ $1.5mm/Ea = $99,000,000

Surface to Air Missiles
19 @ $120k/Ea = $2,280,000

Total Ordinance Cost = $101,280,000

Plus cost of hardware to deploy ordinance = ????

I'm not suggesting I'm for or against this action, just keeping a running tab.

Those don't last forever. Eventually they would need to be dismantled and scrapped meaning they would have been useless. At least this way they performed their intended function.

So are you suggesting we're simply rotating inventory? Razz Wink Again, I'm not weighing in on the attack itself, just trying to apply a price tag to it.

Typical response of those who can't debate the issues in an intelligent manner. . .start calling the opposition names. Pathetic.

Husky, Bigbore, you remember we have a rule about name calling?

If you cannot disagree civilly, feel very free to take your disagreement out of this forum.

Scroll back to page 2 and note my original question was never answered with more than a “because” type answer. Then bigbore came in with a condescending post implying all questions are not permitted.

Sure its expensive but its the best kind of training our troops could get.
I think we learn way more from this type of attack as far as how our weapons fared, and testing the countermeasures of those being attacked.
Its the only way we really learn what works, what doesn't.
God bless our troops!

Caught a bit of Fox News last night, and I couldn't believe what Laura Ingraham was saying - that this strike was too expensive, and that we should have refrained from launching it due to our 'depressed economy' and the cost to the taxpayer. She was a condescending jerk to the one sane guy there that was arguing in favor of it as a deterrent lesson, and because it was "The Right Thing To Do."

Reportedly this was taken into account and any release would be away from populated areas. Given the material, you'd expect that the sites would be isolated.
On the other hand I had a friend that was downwind from Khamisiyah when some of Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons were destroyed. He was messed up.

A lot of boxes got checked off.

-Weapon systems need to be used, most components have shelf life.

-We need to make sure they work, that the people the maintain, and use them know how and have confidence in there function and see them work. Since the "forces" change over time, this needs to be done enough that all are exposed to the above.

-That top to bottom and bottom to top logistics are well wrung out.

-That we engage the "enemies" systems, tactics, operations and communications in "real events" to obtain intel and make changes to our own "game".

-That the people "paying attention" take notice.

-That those not taking notice, "pay attention".

And a few other things. (already mentioned a few times.)

Yes. I have a closet full of t-shirts, and wore out a bunch more.
