I know about costs moron, and I don’t accuse someone of supporting the enemy without some proof. I’ve had friends killed by muslim terrorists so stick it up your hiney.

You got at least two planes for the ground attack, plus air cover. Support troops plus fuel plus the pilots who put their lives on the line.

Just the JDAM tail unit is $20,000 for each bomb, because they almost always use those. So you’re right my $100k estimate was off, it was probably closer to $300,000 in bombs.

Do it right or leave.

I’d say, it is putting those items to good use, not to mention the training value.

Was he one of those bam bam released from Gitmo?

No, he was held in Camp Bucca in Iraq. Nobody is certain who released him or when.

Self covered, where's the threat? The package flies whether it has a target or not. No reason for JDAM mod, permissive environment and the aircraft system can target trucks in a convoy. Risk to the pilot is greater returning to the ship. $300k for ordnance means 15 bombs. Doubt it.

Then quit crying about killing terrorists, with 0bama in office this is as good as it gets.
