content: Killing 34 cattles and paying US$3.32 million in 1968 (equivalent to US$23.4 million in 2017) +  $3.57 million in 1969 ($23.8 million in 2017) + $6 million in 1980 ($17.8 million in 2017) + 13 years of interest for "compensations" is not worth it. If this was intentional, then the Israelis are fucking stupid. Because they could easily kill way more than 34 US troops by sending them to kill mujahideens, without actually paying $$$ and taking global reputation hit.
