I don’t know the circumstances surrounding the CAS request, but it may be that the SOF request was urgent and the B1 was in close enough proximity vs. other air assets?

Tough call and I bet the aircrew feels like $hit right now...

RIP soldiers and condolences to the families of the fallen.

No stealth about it. Just ignorance on the part of the writer.

It’s like Clips/Mags, Auto/Semi-Auto.

No doubt the writer is FNG under 25.
