Defense costs are always higher. A bullet runs about 25 cents, but bullet-proof jackets are hundreds of dollars. Still often worth it.

- upofadown 5y agoI guess the vest thing is a good analogy to the weird politics here. The vest doesn't matter if enough bullets are fired. You are still dead. The Iron Dome thing has not entirely prevented the Palestinians from causing death and destruction in Israel and is thus a failure. It is clear that technological approaches will always be imperfect and that leaves the Palestinians with leverage for some sort of political solution to the current situation.
