Why use a bunch of F-15s and F-35s when one BUFF could do the job?

“Why use a bunch of F-15s and F-35s when one BUFF could do the job?”

It’s way more fun a little at a time. Like eating a nice chocolate. It needs to be savored.

"… clearly show how much of the island's lush, green foliage was burnt to a cinder …"

Cue the global warmists and enviromental whackos. Oh the humanity! Oh my aching "carbon credits"! LOL.

This is peanuts. During the fight over Khe Sanh, 40,000 tons of ordnance were dropped on NVA and VC units. Tac nukes were contemplated, although never used.

Now let’s give the same gifts/presents to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Not sure. Wonder why they did not use NApalm. Is it forbidden now? I know phosphorus is except for “marking” targets...

... or cheap artillery rounds... a walking barrage would cost what? Take maybe an hour or 2.

Those F-35s were real “stealthy” with JDAMs hanging from the outsides...

Did the island “tip over and capsize”?

The island now has many holes that will fill with water and provide new watering holes for animals and habitats for amphibeans.

Qanus Island.”

What’s with Arabs wanting us to spell words in English with a Q with no U after? It’s like Chicoms and “Xi”. You would think they were leftists.

Wait...

They ARE leftists!

Now THAT is a counter terrorism strategy one can get behind. Don’t stop there....raqqa, dabiq, medina, some nice round-up for afghanistan (twofer), and maybe some leaflets for tehran.

Islam needs a reformation before it can be even considered for entry into the adult conversations.

.02, YMMV

I watched the video and noted the widely dispersed destruction.

However, I have watched much WW II footage and noted that the population survived.

The Isis infrastructure was destroyed but were the fanatics actually killed? Why was there no followup with antipersonell ordanance?
