The MOAB delivered the equivalent of 21,000 lbs of TNT. A big blast, yes.

But during WWII the B24 carried 8,000 lbs, and they dropped hundreds of loads on Germany. In total the British and Americans dropped 136,000,000 lbs, the equivalent of 6476 MOABs.

And we still had to put something like a million boots on the ground.

No ISIL isn't the German Army, but they are spread out over lots of territory. Maybe we killed a few dozen, or even a few hundred with one MOAB. Impressive, yes, but still a drop in the bucket.

As far as I, personally, am concerned, we shouldn't wast our time, money and men.

Let the Saudis, Paks, Afghans, Kuwaitis, Turks, Syrians, Israelis, and all the other mideasterners fight them.

We've flushed too many Americans down shitholes before...Korea and Viet Nam and Iraq.

President Donald Trump is reportedly demanding that a trip in a royal carriage be a part of his itinerary during a state visit to Britain later this year, according to U.K.?s The Times.

A carriage procession from London?s Horse Guards Parade to Buckingham Palace is a normal part of the protocol for a state visit. But The Times noted President Barack Obama chose not to travel in the carriage during a 2011 visit, opting to make the trip in his armored limousine.

The White House did not return a request for comment.

If Trump does travel by carriage, he could likely use the lavish gold-plated Diamond Jubilee State coach, which other foreign dignitaries, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mexican President Enrique Pe?a Nieto, have used during past state visits.

Sources told The Times that the carriage was not as secure as the president?s traditional armored vehicle that is bulletproof, protects against a chemical attack, and can withstand a small bomb.

Security officials are preparing for massive protests during Trump?s visit, which The Times reported will require unprecedented security. The Evening Standard reported in February that policing costs for the visit could be up to 7 million pounds.

?The vehicle which carries the president of the United States is a spectacular vehicle. It is designed to withstand a massive attack like a low-level rocket grenade,? a source told The Times. ?If he?s in that vehicle he is incredibly well protected and on top of that it can travel at enormous speed. If he is in a golden coach being dragged up the Mall by a couple of horses, the risk factor is dramatically increased.?

The drain on resources for a carriage trip may be of little significance to Trump. He has stretched the Secret Service thin and spent millions in American taxpayer funds to protect his family and to take frequent weekend trips to his estate in Florida.

I guess my question is, now what? I'd like to see us pull every soldier on the ground and do this type of thing until we can officially leave the region, which is never. If we're going to drop these mega bombs, I'd like to hope it is with an exit strategy in mind.

Coincidentally..

Coincidentally..

some of those MOABs are made in nearby Savannah Okla area. The army ammunition depot employs about 1800 locals.

They interviewed a worker. He said they were as long as a telephone pole.....30 footers.

I agree, we need to pull out of the mideast....we were sucked in by a conniving allied partner.

Korea is becoming a flashpoint because the graft money from the previous South Korean administration has dried up.
