Afghanistan MOAB: Generals Sacrifice
Little did any one expect there was yet another bomb target in Afghanistan.After fifteen years of a lost war that began with the beginning of the war we dropped the MOAB.The acronym represents "Mother of all bombs". Please note yet another acronym. Our military barbarians can barely speak in compelling prose so they have come up with an abundance of acronyms that they can easily grunt.The specs on the MOAB include: Boeing made, 30 feet long, weighs 21000 pounds,satilite guided, deployed by parachute, detonates 6 feet above the ground with a 1 mile radius impact which includes hundreds of feet below the surface destruction.The target was branded as an ISIS tunnel city. No doubt any one that lives in a cave/tunnel city is by definition a throw away person. So instead of spending the $300 million development costs own our own infrastructure we choose this monstrosity. By the way the insects, reptiles , flora and fauna that were collateral damage along with the throw away people must be tallied as innocents lost to posturing generals at the pentagon. Posturing didn't help Alexander The Great. Nor Genghis Khan nor British Empire, nor Soviet Union, nor Nato who have mostly left years ago. Nor will it help struggling America in its quest for respect on the world scene. To hear the generals sum up the box scores of the aftermath of MOABS brief day in the sun it was successful. Success is measured by killing throw away people in their own meager country?But generals want peace they claim.And they claim persistence in that quest.Well. If sincere why don't they draw straws and strap one general onto one MOAB at a time to prove their sincerity.
