That doesn't even mention the financial cost. Those interceptor missiles cost a million dollars each, I mean each!!! How many hip replacements could you perform for that or how many meals for homeless people?
Oh yes and the material damage from direct hits on American bases in these Countries that the US won't even talk about, it's classified?
Jordan said four ballistic missiles were fired towards them from Iran, three were intercepted and one fell on wasteland (liars), then a couple of days later, news leaks of a direct hit on American base causing three fatalities and hundreds of injuries! Seemingly, it takes (unfortunately) fatalities for the Yanks to admit, they are not as invincible as they make out!
