re: #4 Destro

You know how many scuds the USA destroyed on the ground during the last 2 wars against Iraq? Zero, nada, ziltch.

You know what was the most effective method? Sending special forces on dune buggies to find them and even then they got only a couple.

Secondly, to go in and use these bunker busters means you need to initiate a full scale air attack and sustain it so that the bombers can go in and survive and then go in again and again in cases where they missed.

So that is why I wrote sabotage and sanctions are the true way to fight this new scourge. Anything else is just getting off on war weapons porn.

Ever watch a boxing match? Jabs to the head and body are the way to go, but they only get you so far. Eventually you also need the ability to deliver a knockout punch. That is part of the bunker buster’s purpose. In an era of spy satellites, you can be sure that your enemies are placing some of their key infrastructure underground. It helps to have the ability to reach and destroy that key infrastructure.
