If we put boots on the ground they'd be gone in a week, tops. Our military is no laughing matter. Make no mistake, we are just being nice right now. If we had the "public opinion" to do it, we would.
We had over 100K troops there for a long time, and the enemy did not disappear in a week. They are still there.
Isn't a daisy cutter really only effective if there are a lot of troops standing around? Or a bunch of trees that need to be felled? Is Afghanistan really that forested? Or were there a bunch of Afghanis hanging around as if they were waiting to get into a theme park?
How many innocent civilians are cut down by this display of power? This is not a surgical strike weapon.
If the video online is the video -- looks like it was remote enough right? Shouldn't be too much civilian casualty. They must have been working on this intelligence for some time...you just don't trip upon a tunnel cave system and go -- oops there it is.
Correct. It's fired from a field cannon, not a tank.
"Would have been fired", as the last W82s were retired a quarter century ago.

If someone wants to sound smart on automotive matters, he should know a gasoline engine from a diesel. And if someone wants to sound smart on military matters, he should know what tanks are for.

Yes remember that six week declaration 'We Won!"...Sadly the only thing we won is a conflict that has been going on for 14 years. I do remember reading last fall that Isis was losing its hold -- I'm hoping this did even more damage.
And i will gladly say -- good for Trump and the military if all went as planned.
As much as i dislike the man I would love it if he could continue decreasing the abilities of Al-Qeida and ISIS in the Middle East.

It IS extremely effective for generating headlines.
