Daisy Cutters were used in Viet Nam to create instant helicopter LZs in the jungle. Made a mess of anyone standing nearby, too.

I think the 36 number has to be made up.

They can have no idea how many people were in those tunnels.

Further they would not want to use a bomb like that for only 36 people.

ISIL

Do you know what the L in ISIL stands for?

It stands for the Levant, which is an area that includes Israel. Sympathizers of radical Islam use the acronym, ISIL, for that reason.

Don't use the language of the enemy. Call them ISIS.

Yeah...they couldn’t print the truth if their lives depended upon it...

They have had their heads up the libtards butts for so long, they don’t have any idea that there is a ‘reality’ of life out here...

I’ll wait and see what the ‘real news’ is from those that know it...

You may be correct. I think that we did produce a similar or half size “bunker buster” version for use in Iraq.

Yes, I did for a very long time

Sympathizers of radical Islam use the acronym, ISIL, for that reason.

LOL...OK..if you say so.

Don't use the language of the enemy. Call them ISIS.

Sorry, I call them as I see them.

One of ISIL goals is the elimination of Israel, the more people who understand what ISIL means the better understanding of their true goals...

You do understand that is the ultimate goal of the caliphate is more than having a state. ? No Israel, all Jews dead.

That's why I use that acronym, their goals are far more then having a sharia state in Syria / Iraq ...

I find your logic convoluted and counter-intuitive. Using the preferred language of the enemy does little to inform your allies, and only aids and abets those we're fighting.

I refuse to afford them any such respect.

Let me help you out here...

In your estimation what percentage of Americans know or care which acronym is used?

My guess is no more than 15 % at most...

So when I use the term ISIL, people will ask or try to correct me.

Using the preferred language of the enemy does little to inform your allies, and only aids and abets those we're fighting.

How exactly does using the term ISIL aids and abets the enemy?

Maybe your logic and intuitive thinking skills can explain?

So by you logo calling the "dirty japs" Japanese or"krauts" Germans during WWII we somehow aided them ?

Excellent. I was looking forward to a body count on this one.

I don't think we will know. Many were buried in the blast and counting body parts is somewhat of an inexact science.

I was hoping for more like 3600, especially for the price that bomb cost.

But it’s 36 more than Obama ever killed...
