28 accurate bombs off of one plane. Very precise.
The thing is, that if we make war too precise do we make it more acceptable?
Perhaps the reason why Germany and Japan haven’t had a major war in 75 years was due to the “imprecision” of our war making efforts.
If it “stings” a lot to wage war—perhaps the people would not put up with it.
I have to wonder if the Russians and Chinese are so focused on “precision” in their weapons.
How about if you move to a country that has less precise bombs, and I stay here?
“Perhaps the reason why Germany and Japan haven’t had a major war in 75 years was due to the “imprecision” of our war making efforts.”
The allies were only capable of bringing Germany to its knees in WWII because we purposely bombed the living hell out of German population centers. I suspect it was hard to find a German to sign the surrender document.
We have the Nobel prize today because Alfred Nobel invented dynamite to make war to horrible to contemplate.
That worked out so poorly that when his death was erroneously reported he got the rare privileged of reading his own obituary.
He really didn’t like the things said about how he created the horrors of ‘modern’ warfare and what a terrible excuse he was for a human being, and how his legacy was arguably the worst in all of human history.
The Nobel prize was born to atone for and offset that legacy.
Do you really want to go back to “unacceptable” war?
History shows that there is no level of violence that is too unacceptable to truly prevent wars.
Prove me wrong, name a week where there wasn’t a war somewhere since the dawn of the nuclear era.
For bonus points, total the days when the nuclear powers weren’t involved in a proxy war in some poor unfortunate third country.
