Correctomundo. The BLU-82 is filled with GSX explosive at about 12,600 lbs. The FAE bombs, the BLU-75,76,77 are
fuel bombs of varying payloads. I know it sounds cryptic to say this, but we now have non-nuclear ordnance that greatly
exceeds the destructive power of either of these bomb types. I think we may see a display ,later in the war, if the Taliban
becomes too entrenched in the terrain.

I just love bomb talk. And this is the best place to learn about something I never thought about. I see why guys love the service. And I too want them to tremble when they think of us, to shake in their boots, to be afraid to ever cross the US again. Fear is all they understand, fear, power and death. The taliban are animals and need extermination. And I do hope we don't do here what happened in Viet Nam. I always thought with the gloves off we could have won that war, whatever that would have meant. It seems so long ago until I read what people say they saw there.

The possibilities are endless. I was wondering if they have considered using multiple GPS guided munitions to hit targets with a well choreographed strike. If they could time the individule bombs to hit at just the right time and in just the right place, they could play with the shockwaves and resonences of the terrain, pruducing the jello effect seen in earthquakes.

I wish there was an munitions channel on cable.
