Good to get more details on this. The first report just said a sniper shot at them. Big difference.

LOL, sure must have surprised those warlords to find out the B-52's are still around.

It must be pretty hard to tell which ones are the good guys, if any.

Classic. They've been sniping at our patrols and convoys on such a regular, predictable basis that we've started bringing back the B-52's for a little surprise now and again...

It's good that the Buff was in place ready to help.

Now it's time to send a couple more to the headquarters of the punk in charge of the bunch that attacked our soldiers.

We need to make these tinpot warlords understand that there are dire consequences if one of their fools shoots at our guys.

Blackhawk UP YOURS, Mo'hamn it.

XXX42's craven motivations to waste our best in ill supported police chases must be as clear any lesson learned in Nam.

This B-52 angel is so unPC I want to hug the crew, air and ground too. "Annihilation" should be in the Rules of Engagement; with seven 2,000#ers, it may be.

We all need to visit a VA hospital this Christmas season. I want to thank real men and women in person to let them know that their service and risks are remembered. I hear that calling cards are always appreciated gifts, especially for long-term patients to ring up friends and family. Yup, I'm gonna do it.

If we only react to individual events when we are actively being fired upon, all initiative goes to the hand of the enemy. A warlord's men fired on US troops. At a minimum that warlord's home and headquarters should be obliterated.

Thanks for posting this. I saw a thread about it earlier but it wasn't clear how BUFF became involved, nor did it mention the size of the bombs or how many.

Afghan Warlord's Forces Bombed After Attacking US Troops (B-52)

Lesson: Don't do that.
