Not all 70 are equal. I'm not a huge fan of air-only offensives, but if you kill the right 70 people, it could be pretty damaging.

47 tomahawk missiles @ 569K a pop = $26,743,000
So each militant cost about $382,042.85
ETA: Not saying that is cost effective or ineffective. Just math.
ETA2: NM, that's the cost for a tomahawk land attack missile. My apologies.

Where do these news outlets gather their data from? This strike not only is ongoing, but also just happened only half a day ago.
It's not like they had "TERRORIST" tatt'ed on their chest so how can they quantify these figures exactly?

Did you imagine that tomahawk strikes in the middle of the desert or on non-descript mudhuts would be accurate. The US military is the best in the world but the perfection some of you imagine is laughable.

Did you not even bother to read the article? It states these attacks were aimed at infrastructure, not personnel. The 70 dead are an added bonus.

Should have used only one, loaded with canned sunshine...

Depends on which 70 they nailed...if they just got pawns...waste of money.
If they got the top 70 members of the leadership...money well spent.

The WH briefings I watched touted "trucks" as some of the destroyed targets. My thought was "WTF kind of truck is worth a cruise missile?" We will go broke at this rate if they buy Jundie Toyotas at $20k each and we use $1.5m cruise missiles to take them out.

No shite, how much does a tomahawk cost?

Men are expendable, you win by destroying infrastructure and ruining their logistics
