| Yes, the munitions are far more expensive, the training of soldiers is far more expensive, the logistics and upkeep is far more expensive, the equipment provided is far more expensive. Everything is so vastly more expensive.
One tail kit to modify one modern dumb bomb into one modern not-so-dumb bomb probably costs more than an inflation adjusted top of the line fighter or bomber did.
Even when you factor in inflation, modern high tech war is just so much more damned costly than it was 69 years ago (66 for you Americans :P).
