Default Total Cost Lebanon Evacuation - 31mil.

I must say, that $2066 per person is quite frugal given situation and seasonal timing.

I expected this to be near the 50-65 mark - I wonder if this includes the support cost(s) etc.

Now the question for precedence will be, will a bill be sent out and if so for how much.

This sets a dangerous precedence for future conflicts, Africa civil war etc.

I think they should be forced to cough up at least half the bill considering it saved them the purchase of the trip back.

I think the US's policy is people sign an IOU and will pay back a certain amount - I believe its the whole bill and they have x years to pay it off.
