We’ll never know how many Iranian civilians they killed to save 1 US pilot.

Want cheaper medication to fucking survive? HA HA HA! Nope! We’re all out of money! We just don’t have any
Lots of medicine comes from India who use petrochemicals from the Middle East.
Medicine is going to get expensive.
Did they actually rescue him? There are doubts.
If that’s what it costs to bring them home, that’s what we spend.
How much does it cost to not send them there in the first place?
Ah! Excellent question.
It is estimated that there are 92 million people living in Iran. The price of a human, ignoring the human’s net worth, has a lower bound of 1 million USD (based off the heart alone).
With some simple math, it can be deduced that Iran currently holds at least 92 trillion dollars of human wealth.
Since Iran is considered to be an enemy of the US, that 92 trillion is subtracted off of the US GDP (~30.5 trillion USD), which puts the US in the red.
Therefore, Trump must reduce Iran’s stockpiles of human wealth to get the US GDP to at least break even.
I am sure you understand, now that I put this in this very logical way.
/s if there’s any confusion
That’s a different question. We put them there, we are responsible for bringing them back.
Too late the US military is there
How many Americans could be fed or housed for $2 billion? You could save a lot more lives that way.
Of course. Nobody is contesting that.
None of this was necessary to begin with- that’s why the costs are being discussed.
No, I’m contesting that.
Stupid murderous scum following the orders of a rapist pig pulling stock market schemes don’t deserve to be rescued.
But it wouldn’t be necessary if the no more wars president had kept his promise.
why would you want to bring terrorists to the USA
I wonder how many soldiers died in the rescue operation?
you will never know.
This situation reminds me too much of ‘Wag the Dog’
At the very least they’re valuing the soldiers’ lives enough to spend so much on saving them. To be honest I completely expected the US forces to just forget about anyone lost on Iranian territory.
You think the guy who says WW2 soldiers who died are losers and suckers cares about a life?
He cares about the bad publicity. He “won the war in an hour”, and 5 weeks later is out losing jets and pilots?
It would look bad for him not to rescue, cause you goddamn know Iran would have made that an absolutely endless attack against him in the news if they caught the pilot first, put the pilot where their command was and dared Trump to bomb his own troops, which I fully believe he would do.
Already?
2 billion is just for the planes and rescue lol
What were these service members doing right before the Iran war? Whatever it was, they aren’t doing that now. We’re instead paying them to do this shit in Iran, with whatever is going on for their last posting… I think that mean it’s fair game to add salaries to the cost.
If they cant temporarily control an area with overwhelming force to rescue a couple of pilots how did they ever hope to secure an area for an extended period of time with a small number of troops invading Iran? Invasion was always a stupid idea.
