Man those Apache's are nasty

(1) Hellfire missile costs around $68,000 each. Seems like an awfully expensive way to kill people one at a time. No wonder we're spending $$$Billions a month, that we don't have.
How much is the life of our troops they were about to ambush worth?I believe the guy that kept saying "sparkle" was on the ground and they needed air support.,either way it would have cost that much to jail and put him on trail so bombs away.
