The other end of those "burrows" are in Pakistan.

So why do we even bother.

We simply do our best with what we've got.


Not really or we would have used a MOP


Then we would have spent $16 million and people would have a real bitch. As it is we spent only
$170,000.

I doubt if the MOP would have been as effective over a wide area.


If this was about "caves" a wide area would not be an issue. The MOP
would have put the blast underground and destroyed the caves, not just
knock the dust off the ceiling.
I still am waiting to see how many people in that body count were just
walking around in the open and how many were actually combatants.
I remember "body counts" from 50 years ago. Women, children and water
buffalo got counted right along with the VC and NVA.
Harry buried them all tho ;-)
