The U.S. Dropped A MOAB in Afghanistan And You'll Never Believe What Happens Next!

It has always been democrat that have gotten members of the military killed with their "rules of engagement". Truman pretty much started it in Korea, but it came in full bloom under Johnson and his total idiot defense Sec McNamara!!!

Look how long Gulf war I lasted when Bush let the Military run the war as only they knew how. ONE HUNDRED HOURS!!!!

 

That's simple, he never ask & it wasn't published in NYT during his TWO TERMS! He used the newspapers to get his updates, remember?

 

Bush had some stupid rules. too. The dumbest of all was allowing "embedded reports".

We've had that bomb since 2003 and have been at war that whole time.

Bush didn't drop it because he started the wars and didn't want to be seen as an even bigger war monger than he was already seen as.

Obama didn't drop it cuz mom jeans.

But trump is like "what's that? Biggest bomb ever? Where can we drop it like its hot?"

The man loves extravagance in all forms, even violence.

 

On the contrary, we've had the Daisy cutter since the late 60's and other 'Thermobaric weapons' in the pipeline since the 1960's and 70's. Please note, 'Thermobaric weaponry' is more efficient than napalm.

I'm familiar with the daisy cutter, used to clear landing spaces for helicopters in Vietnam.

American landscaping baby.

But I distinctly remember the cover of a magazine with the Moab back in 2003 that said "why America scares the world"

I think that's why bush didn't drop it.

And Obama didn't drop it cuz once again, mom jeans.

 

You don't need a 10 kiloton MOAB for every job. During the Afghanistan and Gulf wars the military unleashed many of their smaller developed thermobaric weapons on the tunnels and military installations.

 

So what? The bomb had never been dropped in combat and has been sitting for 14 years. It was time to test it out on some people who would chop your head off and take your kids as slaves if they possibly could.

 

Amen to that. The right hammer for the right nail....

 

To say nothing of digging through given that less stable areas of this old cave and gem mine complex caved in.
