    “The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement” - Eisenhower, 1961

      Three units have now been lost—one during evasive maneuvers to avoid an attack, another due to friendly fire, and the latest during a landing operation. If this isn’t a clear indication that it’s time to reconsider our involvement and allow Israel to address the consequences of its own actions, I’m not sure what is.
