Guess I don't understand why we don't carpet bomb Isis with b52s. In Vietnam prisoners told us the "silent death" of B52 Ark lite bombings from 38000ft was the gooks worst nightmare. I read several sitrips of prisoner questionings at S-3 and they were absolutely terrified by it because there is no warning, no noise, their world just began exploding out of no where. It was the most demoralizing thing we did to the enemy there. Isis would crap in their pants if the same thing happened to them. If you have ever seen an ark lite it is impressive. It shakes the ground 5 miles away. I slides of one happening and the aftermath. These brutal bastards beheading children need this kind of **** happening to them.
Bombing from that altitude is safe for crews too.
