I can't respond to your entire post there Dietrich. I will ensure you however that carpet bombing while still used(however rarely) is somewhat a thing of the past. If you can put a B-1 on station to loiter over a target area for a given amount of time armed with thirty some odd j-dams, then yes, it is going to be very good for the coalition troops who have that kind of firepower on call. We all know that no weapon system is perfect.......I got it. But for some reason when a strategic bomber is brought up every body jumps to the conclusion that it's raining indiscriminate death down when in fact it is every bit as accurate as the smaller fighter bombers. Just my two cents. Nice post by the way Dietrich.
