Pink is used for civilians, green for military.

Would the Pentagon waste a Hellfire missile on me?

Another perspective:  The $cost of war….   And what COULD be done with the money…

The $654.5 million or so spent by the Pentagon to purchase 5,950 Hellfire missiles in 2016.

With $654.5 million, we could buy housing for 19,807 homeless people, subsidized utilities, and a 75″ smart TV in each unit — with nearly $406 million to spare!

$216M out of that can replace the 10,000 lead pipes in Flint, Michigan and the last $190 million would cover 1 month of groceries for every human being in San Francisco, plus another 20,000 or so in the suburbs.
