Bingo! I hate war.. as all rational, decent people do. It's an awful, awful thing that leaves people (mostly young people) dead or maimed for life. But, dammit, if you're going to go to war... go in to WIN it!!

 

Don't hobble these poor bastards and make it more difficult for them to achieve their goal. Take the shackles off. A lot of the "rules of engagement" in recent years just put these young soldiers at risk IMO. Can't do this, can't use that... NONSENSE!

Hate the war, love the warrior.

I've been there,done that. Warriors hate war too. When you haven't been there you're kind of excited, kind of apprehensive. After the first time, you're scared but you don't let your fear overcome you. Somebody has to do it and you're the one who took the job.

 

The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things. I think that dates to someone in the Reagan administration. The military kills people and breaks things to convince the enemy to quit.

 

Halsey said "kill Japs, kill more Japs" and "when we get done with them the only place Japanese will be spoken is in hell". Patton said, "I don't want anyone going out there dying for their country, the idea is to make the other SOB die for his country" and "we'll use their entrails to grease the treads of our tanks". OMG, liberals will have a seizure if someone said those things today.

 

Collateral damage? Yeah, it happens but let me tell you how a victim of collateral damage feels. We all have seen the photo of a 9 year old girl burned by napalm in Vietnam in 1972 dropped by the South Vietnamese Air Force. The SouthVietnamese soldiers in the photo were doing nothing for her. Her name is Kim Phuc.

 

She became a poster child for the Vietnamese Communists. She had "special" privileges and even allowed to go to University in Cuba in the 80s. There she met amother Vietnamese student and they married. They were given a honeymoon...in Moscow. When the Aeroflot flight landed in Canada to refuel, Kim and her husband asked for political asylum and have lived in Canada ever since.

 

Kim still undergoes treatments for the burns she received almost 45 years ago. She runs a foundation to help children affected by war.She chose to live free in Canada vs being "privileged" in Communist Vietnam.

 

My brother met her last week at a conference in Borneo.

 

Guess I got off track but it is a story worth telling.

Everything in the world is about power.  Societies are formed for power.  Governments are just one of the tools societies use to achieve power.  War is the result when two or more entities clash on who is more powerful.  Been going on from the being of mankind.  Likely to continue to the end of mankind. From school yard bullies to warring nations, it;s power pure and simple.  Now how one justifies using that power is the interesting part.  It would seem one could track the roots of power back to nature's basic survival of the fittest to preserve the species. Strange way mankind has elected to elevate the use of such 'power'.  The physical expression of power is the final step.  It occurs long after the mental expressions of power have failed to achieve their intended goal.  See what happens when your are given the capability of critical thinking!

 

Enough for now, coffee's ready.

Cost of one MOAB $16 Million, Number of dead insurgents 36. Shock and Awe factor............Priceless.

Its mission was not to just kill. It was to destroy underground tunnels and anything stowed there. Kills were just a freebie.

Mad Dog Mattis and the Joint Chiefs wanna WIN this War!  

 

"Mr. President, we have a tool we can use to save some of our Boys over there".  "We've never used it before in combat, but the guys who built it say it can destroy an entire tunnel complex in one fell swoop!"

 

POTUS:  "How soon can it be deployed?"

 

"Mr. President, we can have it in-theatre in less than 24 hours, ready for you to give the final okay"

 

POTUS:  "Mr. Secretary, I KNEW I picked you because you're highly qualified and came highly recommended.  Your men and women respect you and you them.  When this is all over, they'll be making Facebook memes with you showing the size of YOUR balls to the cameras!"

That's dead insurgents they can count. No telling how many were blown to bits or in the tunnel complex. They're not going to dig the bodies out for battle damage assessment.

Against a cave network I'm surprised they don't follow up a MOAB with a few FAE. The first opens up the roof of the system and the FAE pushes burning fuel down the tunnels.

With that blast it did more than open up the roof, it probably brought the roof down on them all...

[DaddyNick 408]

We'll never know true numbers(of dead bad guys). I hope there is a hundred of them still alive but trapped in that mountain. Let em rot.

The Moab is a thermobaric bomb. I'm pretty sure there was lots of rapid oxidizing going on in those tunnels.

[GRIZ 3,369]

Don't know if that's the correct term. The explosion sucks up a lot of air in all directions. Undoubtedly some in the tunnels died from asphyxiation

[jm1827 284]

Saw some reports now that the number killed is up to 96 with no civilian casualties.

[T Bill 649]

Some reports now adjust the cost of each MOAB down to $170,000.

Hmm MOAB may not be thermobaric, my reference may have had incorrect information. It seems that lots of folks report both it is and isn't. SO maybe? Dunno. If we go by majority of non self contradicting articles, it's a giant pile of h-6 in bomb shape and is not thermobaric.
