The U.S. rescued two F-15E crew members from Iran, but lost an F-15E, HC-130J rescue aircraft, helicopters, drones and an A-10 during the operation. Analysts estimate the total cost may exceed US$2 billion, making it the most expensive combat rescue mission in modern military history.
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
