#3  37 operations, 27 operators reduced. I assume remaining 10 operations were against depots, etc.
Somebody at CENTCOM can't spin numbers.

So at $100,000/mission almost $4M was spent to knock 9 guys off the board.

"But these were important guys!"

Also assuming the knockoffs were clustered in groups of 2-3. So possibly only 3 of the 37 operations had any success. Terrible.
