ooOOOoooohhh. You're in residency. Why didn't you say so. I thought you were in undergrad.
Not sure about the current one but the Vietnam-era one was used to clear jungle for helicopter landings. But like all other such devices, the military came up with other uses for it as well.
ETA: found this in a Foxnews.com article:
"The MOAB is specifically designed for use in missions such as Thursday's. It explodes in the air, which creates air pressure that can make tunnels and other structures collapse. It can be used at the start of an offensive to soften up the enemy, weakening both its infrastructure and morale."

Well done sir. Not a bad start for the first 90 days, especially considering that factions in Congress have tried to delay and stop Trump at every turn.
Agree. Point being if the ridiculous regulations around medicine and insurance that force heatlcare costs up were curtailed, then free market could drive costs down for average joes and tax dollars could go a lot further in subsidizing health care for children, elderly, etc.
LOL, yeah, because people are leaving the US daily to go to other countries to get healthcare /sarcasm
Ironically, people did used to go to Canada to get free/cheap healthcare back in the 80's and early 90's when it was first implemented (imagine that, the world did exist before you were born), but as time has passed, they have come to realize there is no escaping the undeniable fact that you get what you pay for. Cheap healthcare is crappy healthcare.
Now, the fine folks of Canada who can afford it, come to the US to pay for quality healthcare, even though it's free for them in their own backyard.

John Stuart Mill
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse…. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Medical tourism is actually gaining popularity. People leave the US all the time.
What kind of ignorant bullshit is this. Obama won the Nobel peace prize before he had done anything. It goes down as quite possibly the dumbest award ever given based on the world we currently live in.
Oh dear. It means my brain surgeon is a very funny person. Are u serious. You can't be this young
Seen the bomb in Afghanistan a couple of months ago, it was the most massive and beautiful thing I've ever seen. Please don't bring up the rules, I know the rules but also love my job and pictures obviously weren't allowed (Opsec).
I've never heard someone called a scream. Seriously
Only for procedures and things that are not FDA approved and legal in the US. Or plastic surgery, which is vastly cheaper abroad, and vastly inferior too.
Nobody is claiming he's great, just that he has a set of balls and we are not going to get pushed around anymore by anybody, anywhere. As to your comment about Trump, at the very least he has managed companies and a small fortune larger than most third world countries, whereas Obama was nothing more than a community organizer in one of the most crooked cities in these United States. In addition, he has put our country in the worst debt situation by nearly doubling it to 20 Trillion dollars while making us a shrinking violet in world affairs.
If you only knew how much the previous administration has handicapped our military and veterans. There are military bases across the US that doesn't have full emergency services available anymore. The VA medical scandal and the loss of manning of of our forces are mind boggling. But you know
Just to let you know, there are military installations without full time emergency care for the service members on base. Some have to travel 30 mins to an hour for emergency medical care. This all happened the last 2 years. Fact.
I recently ( 3weeks ago) had an appendectomy because my appendix ruptured. Fort Knox couldn't treat me and had to wait 30 mins for an ambulance from the county hospital 20 miles away.
Upon my arrival to Fort Knox last year, an email was sent out throughout post asking for donations for the VA hospital in Louisville because they didn't have enough pillows, blankets, etc.
That is how the military and veterans were treated by the Obama administration.
Lecturing a brain surgeon are ye' ?
You do realize that war, while regrettable, "solved" nazism, various instances of ethnic cleansing, etc?
Or maybe you don't because progressives work overtime to eradicate history so as to render the subjects more docile. Or maybe the collectivist narrative is a god that must be set above little things like facts and history?
And the transcripts say just what? Crickets....
What did the smartest man in the universe need to cleanse from public view?
Certified isn't the same thing as educated. The US taxpayer purchased credentials for this fifth columnist. That neither proves nor disproves education in his case.
His undergrad at Occidental is a much clearer reading on what sort of indoctrination he received from the academy.
You are right. Lefty narrative doesn't survive encounters with reality.
. Progs ought to Try living in France as some of us have, and suffering the true downside of healthcare rationing. All those taxes and systemic unemployment buy you a seat at the bureaucratic lottery. And it sucks.
No way an 11 ton bomb creates a 1000 ft crater. Our largest nuke test ever created a 2000 ft crater (74 feet deep). That was 15 megatons (15 million metric tons). The MOAB would take out Times Square. Probably leaves a 75-100 foot crater depending on the type of ground it explodes over.
I wonder if john has ever worked a job in his short life?
Circle jerks are reserved for liberal safe spaces
Very well said. Question... did anyone on Obamas cabinet have any business experience? I don't think so. Do you know? Seems like one reason some people don't understand Trumps style is because they've never run a business. never had to negotiate.
You are actually comparing countries with 1/7 and 1/5 the population size of the US?
We dropped the Moab plenty of times trying to get bin laden, this is not the first time. wtf is this false reporting?
Moab their poppy fields, they grow and export some of the best heroin everywhere to fund themselves. Cut off their revenue, they can't operate without money.
Two/three and maybe four birds, one stone, reduce the amount of heroin on the streets, save some of our kids, raise the price so fewer would even try and cripple terrorists. I don't care who you affiliate yourself with, that's winning for everyone.
It's really not that hard.

Maybe you should start a "safe thread" to soothe your butthurt...
You are right. No negotiations done in Congress... And all those Goldman Sachs guys don't count for Obama, but DO count for Trump, I get it.
