Gone are the days of always having a CVBG in the Med. 12 hours of flight ops and 80 sorties is a jog for a carrier. A carrier could have wrecked the entire town in 13 hours.
I’m thinking half that time to wreck Benghazi. When will we take another look at collateral damage? When most of the inhabitants support the local terror machine, it is time for them to pay for their loyalty. Of course the “we” includes the feckless coward in the white hut and his agenda is certainly not in our national interests, never mind the warriors in battle.
ROE probably worse than Vietnam. And, this is Libya, not even talking about Iran or ISIS/Syria.
