Actually, 134 sorties over a four day period is what the US military would call an extremely light air campaign. About 36 sorties per day.

Not to diminish the effort of itself, but by comparison, during the first 30 days of Iraqi Freedom, US aircraft flew over 41,400 sorties, or over 1,350 per day.

That’s just the facts

More facts....Conducting 10 year long “compassionate wars” costing multiple trillions, thousands of lives and winning nothing is just not very impressive.

We should be putting that same sort of effort into smashing ISIS and its clones as you explained in post 62.
