It's Christmas in the Infantry.

You bet ya...if your ass is wearing green...you hope they drop another one.

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

ABOUT WHAT?

Yep... take a guy with tiny little hands, a miniscule little wee wee, and show him the biggest fucking bomb you've ever seen. Hilarity ensues...

She didn't...Hilarity Clinton lost (sorry, couldn't resist)

Hopefully this time they didn't drop it on the wrong people.

Someone said the Kurds called in the wrong coordinates I thought that was part of what the US special forces are suppose to be doing. Having locals control US air power is almost always a mistake.

Those things cost $16 million dollars. Don't tell me you can't afford PBS.

I know you know this, but they don't want to. The federal government is supposed to run post offices, maintain a military, sign treaties (and start wars), establish courts, and print money. Everything else is either states' business or private industry's responsibility. If you are a strict constitutionalist, then you adhere to these fundamental principles. And if you are an originalist, then you want to live in 1780.

Bushie's wars could conceivably have insured the entire country. Think about that for a sec.

It was GBU-43/B, known as the ‘mother of all bombs’ according to the Guardian:

"Designed for destroying underground targets but not itself a deep-earth penetrator weapon, the GBU-43/B has the explosive yield of more than 11 tons of TNT. The massive bomb is dropped from air force planes and detonates before reaching the ground, resulting in an enormous blast radius. Only the Massive Ordnance Penetrator GBU-57, which has never been used in war, is a larger conventional weapon."

So we just have to hope the Massive Ordnance Penetrator never goes off inside the Mother Of All Bombs amirite?

Think of the children!

This will actually bust bunkers, unless they are airtight. It's a fuel air bomb. First detonation releases a massive cloud of combustible stuff, second detonation ignites it. The end result is the burning of all combustible air. So, the fuel will reach into the caves for the air.

A "bunker buster" is designed to penetrate hardened targets through kinetic and/or explosive means. Air-fuel bombs like this can certainly suffocate people in unsealed bunkers, but it is not a "bunker buster."

Point taken.

In this case the will destroy the tunnels as they are dug in sand...but this one does not have a nose cone and is designed to detonate above ground . This not the same one the developed for Iran.
