It costs money to build and to destroy

We all know that weapons are expensive. For example, it costs the Pentagon $6,000,000 for a tank, over $500,000 for a Howitzer cannon and $1,000,000 for the MRAP made popular in Ferguson. We left a lot of these weapons behind in Iraq and ISIS and others are using them. 

We don't want that to happen so we are now bombing these weapons using F-16s, which cost from $22,000 to $30,000 to operate for an hour. All of which results in spending around $100,000 to destroy over a million dollars of captured equipment.
