“destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children..”
???
What the hell were we going to be using? A B-17, and 20,000 pounds of bombs?
We had more than enough advanced gear that you would not have to carpet bomb the whole damn place.
Scheuer went on to say that Kandahar had about 300,000 living there, not 300.
So it wasn’t as if the whole city would have been wiped out.
