Bombs should be measured in safe spaces then.

I guess this guy would prefer that we send in James Taylor to sing to them instead. ;-)

Actually he’s right. All this bombing won’t give us anything but more mess. We’ll still be stuck in the unending quagmire called the Middle East. Your allies today are your enemies tomorrow and then your friends again and the each other’s enemies and then each other’s allies and then.... on and on ad infinitum ad nauseum. None of this is worth one single American life.

The left is never uncomfortable when their favorite people murder thousands of Christians.

Yes, They never get “queasy” when Christians are murdered.

Every time I hear of the bomb, I think of the grin on the crew chiefs face as he paints a bomb on the nose of his C-130 for a completed bombing mission.

We can kill em all for all I care, but it is a waste of money. I was 100% all in and literally signed up to put my ass where my mouth was, but 16 years later we are still nowhere nearer a world free of Islamists. If anything we are worse off.

If we are not going to convert the middle east to secularism then we need to treat terrorism as a police action. War ad-infinitum is not a foreign policy. It is not a winning strategy. I really wish the right would get more rational instead of simple jingoistic nationalism.

Lots of people cheer about how tough we are when we blow up the biggest bomb, but to be perfectly frank, I care more about results than optics. When push comes to shove, the result is that we are a bunch of pussies who can't beat 3rd world peasants. Win or GTFO.

As sure as night follows day liberals will squeal like little mice when a man takes action to defend America.

He’s right. Can’t argue with the guy. Let’s drop them on the CNN New York headquarters. That will stop his nervousness and the fake news at the same time.

Two similar bombs were dropped on the underground bunkers during Desert Storm. Tom Clancy’s book about Gen. Fred Franks has it all.

Yeah -- and I remember a video clip of some UK observers of the FAE blasts exclaiming,

"My G_d! The Yanks just nuked the blokes!"

Someone else may have done this on this thread, but I wanted to add this just in case.

This MOAB bomb was estimated to carry 21,600 lbs of TNT. LINK

That is 10.53 tons of TNT. (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

Definition of a kiloton: LINK

The Hiroshima bomb was pegged at 15 thousand tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb was pegged at 21 thousand tons of TNT. LINK
