Before:
Kevin was born on the mossy hills of Scotland and lived for a while in West Lothian before the mores of pre-Thatcher and REALLY pre-Oasis Great Britain sent his family across the ocean to North America. They moved here and there and Kevin did the same when he was old enough. Now he lives in London with his family and a Dog.
Kevin Wardrop is an amateur writer, amateur photographer and professional pain in the ass. He has worked in the PC support business for most of his adult life and has been accustomed to simply answering technical questions as a matter of fiat, it was his career choice after all. Now he herds cats and puppies for a living as well as babysitting the web enterprises at the heart of western industry.
110 * $569,000 (http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=2200&tid=1300&ct=2)

62,590,000
OR
Enough Cash to educate 6233 students (thus employing 201 teachers, 4 or more principals, 10 maintenence persons, 2 or more nurses, 4 or more cafeteria staff plus school supplies plus buildings, plus increased tax revenue for a “school area”

Or expending 110 missles in mere moments, easy tradeoff?
Wouldn’t surgical strikes have been economical? I mean, gut the schools then social services, then shoot the missles, right?
