I believe it is a Marine axiom that
"Using a sledgehammer to kill an ant make perfect sense - it does no harm to the hammer, and the ant will never return to battle you again"
I'll stand by to be corrected if I got this wrong.

Well I'm all for the concept of "massive, overwhelming force", no doubt about it.
But ........2 500-pound bombs for two bad guys??? Now maybe they thought that there were possibly more in that position; could very well be. If so, fine. If the intent was to drop 1000 combined pounds of high explosive on the heads of two bad guys, I call that a huge waste of valuable combat resources. But that's just me.
