Is dropping Volkswagons really that effective? How much explosive can you fit into a Beetle?

What about the ones that don't explode? Isn't there a chance that civilians will see them, attempt to drive them off, and inadvertantly blow themselves up? Besides, if we are going to drop cars, shouldn't we drop American made cars and put some of these people in Detroit back to work?

Does anyone have a picture of an airplane dropping one of these? Are the cars mounted under the wings, or do they drop them through a bay door?

Yes, I am laughing too. To all newer FReepers --- I am a proud right wing whacko who has been known to occasionally use humor on this forum. I love this bomb. Can I buy one?

The other day I saw one of those stupid bumper stickers which talks about how nice it would be if the schools have all the money they need and the Pentagon needs to hold a bake sale to buy bombs. What useful idiots.

Nonetheless...It is a little more impressive when dropped in the middle of a jungle...

A co-worker was a FAC in Viet Nam, and called in a strike from one of these puppies. He was circling the site at about 1500 feet when it went off, could see the blast wave coming, and when it hit his plane it rolled him over. "It was impressive."

It will be a great day if the students have all the money they need and the teacher’s union needs to hold a bake sale to buy another politician.
