On Thursday, April 13, the “MOAB” (Massive Ordinance Air Blast) was dropped on a mountain containing tunnels with Isis insurgents in Afghanistan. This is the best thing we have done in a long time. Reestablishing fear into our enemy’s eyes is just what we needed to do to aid our fight against them. The MOAB is the largest non-nuclear bomb we have at our disposal: 21,000 pounds in weight this bomb can collapse tunnels and bunkers. The way the MOAB works makes it so the enemy caught in the blast pretty much has no chance of surviving especially those that were in the tunnels. When the bomb detonates, it creates a mushroom cloud like a nuclear missile except it does not spread radiation. The oxygen is then sucked out of the lungs of those trapped in the explosion and from the surrounding area into the mushroom cloud. This suffocates them instantly but because there is no oxygen in the air.  The only thing that can replace it is the fire, shrapnel, and debris, which then fills their lungs. The fire then fills all of the tunnels instantaneously burning them alive. This is all happening while the tunnels are collapsing on top of them. This is by far the most effective way of wiping out an enemy within the shortest amount of time and should have been put to use earlier.
