    Wait.. we moved ordnance to a war zone so that it could be used in a war zone?

    Let me know when we get to re-fire up the Enola Gay.

    Wouldn't 10 well placed/timed 5,000 pounders deliver more effect?

    Or is it a case of, it's only 9mm?

    A little historical perspective: "The bomb is officially called a GBU-43 or Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB)... Weighing more than 21,000 lbs., the weapon is the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat."
    But, we're not the first: "The Grand Slam was a 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) earthquake bomb used by RAF Bomber Command against strategic targets during the Second World War. It was the most powerful non-atomic bomb used in the war." (WWII)

    The MOAB's overall explosive yield is larger (GBU-43 at equal to 11 tons of TNT vs Grand Slam at 6.5 tons TNT equivalent).
