Default US drops largest non nuclear bomb.

boom!


"The U.S. military dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb on an ISIS tunnel complex in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday, a U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News.

The GBU-43B, a 21,000-pound conventional bomb, was deployed in Nangarhar Province close to the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. By comparison, each Tomahawk cruise missile launched at a Syrian military air base last week weighed 1,000 pounds each."

Boom goes the dynamite!

Already bought it, may as well use it rather than need to fly it back here to be detonated when it pasts its expiration date.

Yeah, it's refreshing to see our munitions being put to good use after the previous admin. used to let ISIS run their victory parades through conquered cities. We might just have something for them next time they try something like that
