Obviously, it’s a weapons system that works far too effectively and give us an “unfair” advantage against our opponents, so it must be slashed.
Call it a “middle finger of death” and order up a whole bunch.

"The Excaliber is fantastically precise – more accurate than any sniper – and can make first round hits on the targets 5, 10, 20 miles away. Recently, we (the U.S.) had a software glitch with the Excaliber rounds which would have made them inaccurate within certain calendar dates. There are still some glitches but there is no doubt that we could use a lot more of Excaliber." He also mentions on very dark nights they fire IR (infrared) illumination rounds.
Fun gun ping.
Kind brings a tear to your eye.
They need high explosive shells with pig remains jacketed around the explosive.

Taliban Fear 155mm Excalibur “Finger of Death”
“
Units that use the Excalibur should have a shoulder patch that says
something like: “When we reach out, we DO touch someone!”.
I saw the Excalibur on the FutureWeapons show on Discovery a few years ago.
VERY COOL.
IMHO, the other really cool weapon is that Javelin system that
can be used by a single soldier. Fire, take the control system module,
move on to the next missle.
IIRC, they mentioned how a small group of US soldiers had neutralized
a column of Iraqi military trucks.
