Out of curiosity, what do you think that op cost?

Whatever it cost, if it saved even one soldier from injury or death, it was worth it.

I don't know what Paveway (laser guided) kits cost. JDAM (GPS) kits are about 20K with the bomb body costing about 2 bucks per pound.

Much, much more than they were worth, but if you are carrying a .45 and see a mouse, I suppose one has to make do.

But that discounts the value of the target vehicle and its occupants.

It'd be cheap at twice the price.
