36? That’s all? Zero bang for the buck. Like using a million dollar Hellfire (?) to take out a tent and a camel.
But, almost 2600 virgins gained, “employment”
No, if it saved one allied serviceman from death or injury, then it was worth every penny.
My thought as well, I think it was more a warning to North Korea.
Yeah... that’s about 583lbs of explosive each. Odds are the numbers are completely unknown and finding 36 people after a 21000lbs explosion they obviously weren’t that close.
Psychological effect and what’s left of the tunnel system and anyone inside will probably never be known.
36 that had enough pieces left to count.
I think it’s main purpose was to make a geopolitical point. Not to kill x number of terrosists... To let the world know that there’s a new sheriff in town. To both our enemies and allies.
Hello China, Russia, Iran, North Korea...
the “bang” was against the tunnel infrastructure that served many more ISIS terrorists than just the number killed in the bombing
if all they wanted was to kill some ISIS members, they would not have used the MOAB
The MOAB pulls all of the air out of those tunnels when it goes off. Anyone who was hiding in those tunnels is dead.
But that camel was one of the imam’s favorites.
