I can’t help noting that the author of the source articles saw fit to note the poundage of explosives (implication: 19,000! gasp! carpet bombing! dead brown babies!), not the number of bombs or the precision of the strikes
Folks, 19,000 lbs is only 38 500-lb. bombs, to destroy 35 targets…precisely in lock-step with the hearts-and-minds strategy of the infantry.
