Known for its ability to unleash a broadside of cannon fire in the dead of night, the newest of the AC-130 lot is more about smart bombs than raining lead and howitzer shells down on the enemy.

This is the absolutely wrong approach. Keep costs down and use dumb weapons. Scare the crap out of the enemy, screw collateral damage. Muslims should either be dead, crippled or submitting in fear. Do this without raising my taxes.

The problem is that gunships like these often hit targets that are in close contact with US forces.

The precision is required to reduce the risk of killing friendlies.
