Kind of like my fireworks analogy? haha, you sound fairly stupid with that reply. And really I see it as just another example of Trump derangement syndrome on the left when making a big deal about the cost. Plus the MOAB is old technology which is why it's public. The ones they don't tell you about will be public in about a decade or so. Something people don't understand about the massive costs is that a portion of the costs go into black budget programs.

No, we are simply pointing out LONG TERM bad policy that keeps getting us stuck in wars that do nothing. WW2 was the last war we were involved in that was decisive. But even on our side the amount of carpet bombing killed tons of civilians. While Hitler was the cause of it, between the weapons on all sides 50 million humans died.

Technology now allows us to be further away and more surgical. I really would suggest you pull your head out of your ass, because America is not the only nation on this planet and the planet regardless is a BALL, not infinitely flat where we can expand forever. And if nukes are used it will knock every country including America back to rocks and sticks if we are lucky and don't go extinct from a nuclear winter. Friend and foe alike combined have enough nukes to blow up the planet several times. 

This is the only planet our species have and your John Wayne bullshit doesn't cut it on the global scale anymore. If we are going to use our military ANYWHERE we better know what we are doing and we cant do what Bush did and simply go in. We did that with Nam and Korea too. The one thing Reagan DID do right was to get the world to back off nukes, and so did JFK. Trump's bullshit chest pounding isn't a symbol of strength or knowledge of global military interests, he simply wants to play boss like a kid on a play date.

His mouth is dangerous, PERIOD. He has no idea how even verbal diplomacy works. Even during his run 50 REPUBLICAN law agents warned us of what his presidency could lead to. An arms race is bat shit insane.

Agreed war should be decisive not just crusade for a crusades sake. It should planned out not just throw troops and huge amounts of weaponry in then get bogged down for 12 years with nothing to show for it . As for showing strength agreed this is just brainless chest thumping and will start another pointless arms race. And yes nuclear fallout doesn't care if your the good guys you'll die all the same.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
