Wasn't trying to 'correct an opinion', just clarified that it was not what was being called the 'bunker buster' in previous use by previous administrations. New, bigger boom, and different type of bomb that's never been used in combat before.mojo84 wrote:
I'm not the one that corrected anyone's opinion based on Wikipedia articles. Many are saying it's the "largest" non-nuclear bomb. I pointed out it is not the largest. It may be the most powerful non-nuclear bomb and I have not dusputed that. Regardless who dubbed it the " Mother of all bombs:, I believe that is sensationalism. That's my point.
In my opinion, a nuclear bomb would more accurately be considered the mother of all bombs. That is my opinion. It's also my opinion some enjoy correcting others whether or not it is warranted or necessary.
Bockscar and Ebola Gay dropping Fat Man and Little Boy doesn't sound near as sensational as "mother of all bombs".

Enjoy your evening and have a good Easter.
And, while it may be sensationalism, it is just what it is called, and many believe the term fits, even if you don't. Easily remembered alternate names for acronyms are frequently given to all types of things, some accurate and some not so accurate. In this case, it's the biggest one used, so that's what they call it. And it sends a message to the Fat Man in NK that the current administration is not afraid to use force, up to dropping a new 'Fat Man' if it is needed to stop aggression and threats to our country, its people and our allies.
My last response. Hope you have a good Easter as well. He is risen!!
