Is the Strait of Hormuz open yet like it was before the idiot and the alcoholic got involved?

Operation Epstein Fury cost $29 billion?

Epic Fury? More like Epic Fail

Epic Fury Epstein Distraction

Four have been destroyed in the conflict so far, including three shot down by friendly fire over Kuwait

Among the other incidents recorded in the report are the crash of seven KC-135 stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft over friendly airspace, which could cost around $1.8bn to replace based on US Air Force budget estimates for previous replacement purchases.

In total, the 42 planes include four F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, one F-35A Lightning II stealth fighter, one A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft, seven KC-135 Stratotanker refuelling aircraft, one E-3 Sentry AWACS surveillance aircraft, two MC-130J Commando II aircraft, one HH-60W Jolly Green II rescue helicopter, 24 MQ-9 Reaper drones and one MQ-4C Triton surveillance drone.

The cost of replacing the aircraft are estimated to be around $7bn but valuations of the planes (some now out of production) and their potential replacements vary widely.

This sounds like Operation Epic Incompetence to me. Shot down by friendly fire? Crashing in friendly airspace? But no worries, $7B of additional debt-funded, taxpayer-guaranteed dollars will be flowing to the Regime's buddies in MIC companies.

Please tell me “Epic Fury” isn’t the actual name. It sounds like something a 13yo boy would come up with after slamming a case of Monster.

That $40bil could have fixed so many bridges.

Remember this the next time some politician says we don't have money for services that would actually help US citizens.

Not that it'll make a difference, but at least you'll know you were right as the world burns down around you.

The man is increasing the deficit by billions an hour. Billions.

That doesn't seem to be a very efficient and cost-effective use of military hardware ...

Yeah. Totally worth it. For crying out loud.

Wait...'or lost'. You mean lost like you can't find them?
