I know that these things work great. It's just that dropping an anvil on the Jihadis would be so much more satisfying; especially if it said "ACME" on the side.

Seems they used these for the assault on Baghdad to take out tanks on the city streets and alleys. Seems the top hatches on tanks are very light. Those (in Baghdad) were laser guided by spec ops teams as I recall. I just love American ingenuity. I split a gut when I read about those during the war.

The reason why war is so prevalent is that the USA keeps finding ways to make it so clean and tidy--nobody fears war anymore.
The USA continues to go insane.
Check out Russia and China--if they do not produce "concrete filled bombs" then that is the signal that the USA is fringe lunatic. War is supposed to be deadly and dirty and destructive. As such, the horror makes war so unwanted that nations seek peace--Japan and Germany are examples. Political correctness in Iraq has cost many Marines and soldiers their lives. This is BS.
The national IQ of the USA continues to plunge, and the decision makers at the White House, the Pentagon and DOD are no exception.

Concrete JDAMs were first used in the 1990s to destroy anti-aircraft guns, radars and missiles that Saddam Hussein placed in residential areas.The *Rodham Clinton administration bombed innocent people? How come we don't hear much about this?

Hmmmm...
Explosives aside, I would really hate to be sittin back and a 500, 1000, or 2000 lbs of concrete land near by. Some of you math whizzes out there...what is the pull of gravity? How fast would this bomb be going at ground zero?? Then, what would be the force of impact(in pounds)???

Why do I think that a bomb with 2 to 5 lbs of HE would accomplish the same task, and many, many more could be carried by a single aircraft.

Why not sand, which is bountiful in Iraq and needs no water?

But a concrete bomb on each bridge damaged the structures enough so that they could not be used, but not so much that they could not be repaired in a week or two. Sounds like the 'Army Corp of Engineers' bomb.
Do just enough damage so you have to come back and do it again.
Thus ensuring job security.
