Abolish the Air Force

On the use of air and rocket delivered munitions - I think there are some benefits that go beyond straight justification of support:

Ahhh Soo.

Thank you for the explanation Rob. The training benefits sorta occurred to me but the rest I never would have thought of.

Stars and Stripes should add a paragraph explaining these things so those of us not fully knowledgeable (ignorant) will understand.

Rob fleshed out my opinion somewhat, having employed ordnance to send a message as well as create a tactical effect.

That said, awfully expensive way to do it. $2 mil of ordnance for $50k of mudbrick.

We used dozers to clear the rubble around the Government Center in Ramadi. But we also cratered a dirt causeway. The first 1000lb missed, the second missed, and finally they dropped a 2000lb bomb that did the trick. They were using LGB's rather than JDAM's, though.
