The Obama doctrine was that we have to make war more fair to the enemy. We can’t use overwhelming force because that might make them mad.
MOAB and Tomahawk were both a heads-up for the norks.
I do not understand today’s leaders. If you go to war make sure the enemy loses their lives not ours. It should be all out or nothing at all.
I just heard a general, Keane I think, say that now the military doesn’t have to get approval for an action from a 30 yr old in the White House. He said the MOAB was exactly the right bomb to use for this situation and Trump is letting the generals make such decisions.
Excessive American caution has cost American lives and American limbs, and it has left families and friends of the victims with deep psychological wounds. >>>>>>>>>>
Obama was really a traitor. His ROE were horrid. No soldier should be forced to serve under such a wanton traitor.
On top of all that Obama committed war crimes in Libya.
“Rules of engagement” my ass. Obama wasn’t on our side in the war against Wahabi Islam. Isn’t it obvious by now? Why are so many afraid to say it?
God bless Johnny (Joey) Jones.
....it will be ten times more dividing this time around. The media,the DNC,Hollywood,the
campus’s will all turn against the military.
They’ll stigmatized, marginalized, all they
can.....they have nothing else.
This era will be interesting for sure
Thanks to Odungo, the
....enemy is here already
Operation Redwings which took the life of hero Lt !Michael Murphy, went bad because of someone’s asinine ROE decision in the field. Marcus Luttrell was the only survivor in his unit.
Our wars have been run by a bunch of pin head lawyers. President Trump put generals in charge, but not the politician kind, the war fighter kind. And it shows.
So is the former presidential candidate (for a swift 4 minutes) glad Trump is prez?
The surprise tactic is key too. It puts the fear of god in the enemy as they never know when a MOAB is going to come knocking. And it doesn’t give the media and the activist left any time to ramp up a campaign and talking points against the strategy.
Yep - I remember them testing the MOAB during Bush years and saying it could be used to clear mine fields too - Trump is the first President who thinks winning is a good thing since Reagan.
Obama’s restrictive rules of engagement have resulted in the maiming and death of too many of our military men - it is pleasing to finally have a president who trusts our military leadership to use their best judgement and discretion to carry out the Commander’s Intent and complete the mission.
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.
rules of engagement that were “transparently foolish”
Naaahh . . . “treasonous”
I hope that Trump has already made moves to redefine the ROE to something that will save American lives and eliminate combatants.
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
