Hellfire’s are 150-200,000 each. We should be striking the production facilities inside Mexico and Venezuela stop messing around with the runners it’s just expensive theater until we hit the leadership and production means.
I mean we have a full MEU and a carrier strike group costing tens of millions per day to have in theater and we are blowing up speed boats for show it’s laughable that it’s making a dent in the flow of narcotics again only strikes on leadership and production means will stem the flow.

Give it time.
Costs tens of millions per day(using your figures) regardless of where they are.
You make the mistake the press always trots out. The extra cost of naval deployment is near $0.
The ships are always manned and are either at sea or temporarily in port. The fact that those at sea are deployed together in the southern Caribbean is not extra cost.
Whining about weapons use is just ridiculous.
The plans for engaging the cartels in Mexico or Venezuela are secret but certainly exist
