So each militant cost about $382,042.85


It costs between 350k and 500k thousand to train one navy seal.


its all relative. You know how much it would cost to deploy a couple stryker battalions?

I would rather bomb them then shoot them. If we have to shoot them, well we have the capability to do that. If we can bomb them back to the stone age while sitting back and sipping Mai Tais so much the better.

I know some folks are heavily indoctrinated into thinking the US, and especially the US military, are the source of all evil in this world or believe that because a liberal President is ordering the strikes it is wrong... but ISIS/L needs to get some. We either spend a little money to nip them in the bud now or we spend a lot of money and blood to do it later.

I think that the worst deal we made was spending $18 billion on training & equipping the Iraqi military. What did we get from that?

The only benefit that I can see is that Iraq may have uncovered their track team for the 2016 olympics because only those with enough speed & stamina would have survived.
