No battlefield was totally micromanaged by a President before the end of WWII. An exception was the use of the A bomb in 1945. Liberals we apoplectic that this Secretary of Defense and Generals know how to run a war by making tactical decisions on their own.

Our commander in chief ultimately gets responsibility for everything. Our Donald dropped the bomb and gets credit. The end.

I have a feeling that the tunnel has more to it than we know....or will ever know.

Our boys must have done a lot of homework to "Pick One".

Good. Because we KNOW the Democrats would never do something like bomb an aspirin factory for political cover.

You also don’t want the illegal wiretaps to catch it.

Dropping the MOAB made Trump look good and the international timing was perfect. I think Trump encouraged such use of force (early-on).

Someone else may have done this on this thread, but I wanted to add this just in case.

This MOAB bomb was estimated to carry 21,600 lbs of TNT. LINK

That is 10.53 tons of TNT. (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

Definition of a kiloton: LINK

The Hiroshima bomb was pegged at 15 thousand tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb was pegged at 21 thousand tons of TNT. LINK
