Sure they could but why risk their lives when you can achieve the desired results with the MOAB.


I am all about using large bombs, but this use seems a bit over the top for the results achieved. Are you telling me this was the largest congregation of fighters and weapons in the region? it surely doesnt seem so.

Maybe I missed the link telling us how many fighters were killed...all I've seen was a thread on Poli Board saying it was around 100 fighters.

Regardless of number of killed, I think the value is in the destruction/denial of use for cave complex.

Unfortunately my own personal experience tells me that not one single American life is worth risking if a viable alternative means of accomplishing your mission is available. we learned the hard way it's better to simply bulldoze a house as opposed to losing a Marine trying to clear it.
