War, War, War See other War, War, War Articles Title: Why Did the US Test an Outdated Bomb in Mountains of Afghanistan? The U.S. Military, apparently eager to test a huge out-dated bomb anacronym MOAB for Mother Of All Bombs dropped one for the first time in the sparsely populated mountains of Afghanistan this week. The goal was apparently to fulfill Trumps earlier campaign promise to ~Bomb the hell out of ISIS. Unfortunately ISIS probably didnt notice or its members spread out all over Asia, Africa, the Mid-East, Europe, and apparently the U.S. were likely all shaking their heads and laughing. Why? Because, if ISIS really exists as a coherent entity, clearly the MOAB is exactly the wrong way to deal with the MOADE (Mother Of All Decentralized Entities.) Hopefully his advisers know this and were just shining Mr. Trump on or just curious to see what their outdated toy looked like in action. Surely they know that sort of centralized destruction is nearly worthless and certainly not cost effective against decentralized 4th Generation Warfare. On the bright side, connected with the relatively benign and strangely ineffective Sarin-gas-excused attack on the Syrian air strip, perhaps this is Trump-The-Negotiator attempting to establish his POTUS credentials as willing killer with a minimum loss of life. On the other hand, theres a good chance its just one more example of abysmal government incompetence. What do you think?

They likely had it on hand and needed to use it. No sense in allowing it to go to waste. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
??? It blew up didn't it?? Not so 'out-dated' as the article author would have somebody believe...... #3. To: X-15 (#2) ??? It blew up didn't it?? Not so 'out-dated' as the article author would have somebody believe...... Bombs from WWII are still blowing up> But they are still obsolete in this day and age. The MOAB is obsolute because there is currently a bigger replacement.
