The problem is many of the near by civilians are the terrorists.

I read a few years ago that the Israelis were using Hellfires with most of the explosives offloaded. The missile is accurate enough to use almost like a big bullet.
Similar to our using concrete practice bombs on targets in Iraq.

Reminds me of Sam Cohen’s Neutron bomb - destroyed people but left buildings intact...That would be OK! After all, their buildings aren’t a problem - THEY ARE!

We had the neutron bomb in Cali. It’s called Howard Jarvis.

To: Thank You Rush
The neutron bomb was designed to kill Russian tankers as well. And leave the tanks as radioactive markers.

They took the idea of mechanical broadheads used for hunting and incorporated such into a missle.
When flechette loads are not dramatic enough.

Why do we keep trying to make war cleaner? I am getting tired of taxpayer dollars being used to support the big companies supplying the armaments used to make “war” more acceptable.
When war is horrible and filled with terror, there is less war.

“halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact, shredding anything in its tracks.”
Give whoever came up with this a great big raise.
