Actually, cluster bombs are used primarily on runways to create craters to impair take-offs and to disable aircraft.

Yes, and cluster bombs (bomblets) are also used with MLRS to disable tanks and artillery. When used against military personnel, the enemy army usually immediately surrenders and the war is ended. So they stop almost any kind of war machine or organization. You might call them the ultimate anti-war weapon!

I prefer the Daisy-cutter for personnel, though. Quick, thorough, and everything is sterilized.
