Not to disparage him or anything, but Sgt. Jones was telling a different story six years ago: After Losing His Legs in a Bomb Blast, Sgt. Joey Jones Uses His Injuries to Inspire Other Wounded Soldiers

According to his own account, Sgt. Jones - who was an EOD tech - and his partner were clearing a civilian bazaar when he was wounded. Does he believe that President Trump, or any military commander, would have advocated bombing the town to rubble rather than sending EOD in to clear it?

We have a president that loves our military. The former Muslim president has the blood of thousands dripping from his hateful head. Never forget what this monster did to the lives of so many Americans.

Many of us recognized the Muslim in the WH as the vulture of Islam back in 2008. We knew early on which side Barck Hussein Obama was on, and it wasn’t the side of U.S. Citizens, it was our enemies.

Remove all of the embedded media on the basis of safety for the civilians and provide all and any information about our actions directly from the military press corps.

We are going. I think most here know it. 'Nuff said.

I hope that Trump has already made moves to redefine the ROE to something that will save American lives and eliminate combatants.

MOAB and Tomahawk were both a heads-up for the norks.

We won't be able to bomb NK into submission.

It’s called delegation, and something that’s second nature to any seasoned executive. You hire good people, give them clear direction, and then get the hell out of the way and let them do their job.

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
