I’m all for “force multipliers”, but I’m glad we still have B-52’s strikes that can basically take out a square mile at a time. “Dumb” bombs can be targeted fairly accurately these days. Once air cover and anti-aircraft missiles are neutralized, troops might as well put up an umbrella against something flying at 30,000 feet. Not every enemy is “first-line”.
