Afghanistan Story of the week
- Thread starter Schadenfroh
- Start date
I seriously doubt that they have B1's flying close air support for ground troops
that a job for an a-10, F-16 etc...
that a job for an a-10, F-16 etc...
that why you have tankers and mid air refueling
the B1 is a strategic bomber. It doesn't operate from forward air bases. It only operates from US air bases. So you are telling me that they are going to fly a (very expensive) B1 10.000 miles to give close air support to troops while they have different air bases close by with aircraft far more suited for the job. The B1 is a first strike capable bomber and is designed to go in fast and low to crap the hell of heavily defended strategic important targets. IMO they are not going to use it to wander around and if necessary drop a bomb on a Taliban and his mule
just my 0,2 eurocent
nice story but I call shenigans
ooohhaaaa
e-thugs
you got to love them
i'm just stating my opinion (because there is no source) and I'm still standing by it, that's all buddy
chill dude
[/i] I call "shut yer trap" and re-read the OP. The OP says "The only thing in the area was a solo B-1." It is not uncommon for the aircraft in the area to be called on to exhibit the superior firepower the other side faces in their godless quest.
I was going to ask you what real life US Miltary experience you have to justify your opinion, but I see by your profile, you're probably just another Ungrateful European Armchair General reading Jane's Air.
We are the world's de facto "protector of fossil fuels" and we'll burn Av Fuel anytime we feel it prudent. As long as the rest of the world cowers in the face of The International Terrorist, you force the US into the position of "Policeman".
May I add, had we cornered OBL in the Bekkah Valley and then glassed it over with a tactical nuke, we wouldn't be having any of this discussion now, and the point of why one shouldn't attack the US as they did on Sept.11, 2001 would have been underscored in a manner even the most tribal of terrorist could understand. But that moment has been lost and we are now mired in the role of traditional combatants against unconventional forces.

it's an opinion, what proof do you have to say that the story is correct. Did you fly the B-1, do you have some other info, links whatever, if you have please post them, I have no problem admitting that I'm wrong when proven wrong
Thx
AlienCraft, asshat extraordinaire. :disgust:

Boeing says:
In operation Enduring Freedom, B-1Bs accounted for 5% of the strike sorties into Afghanistan yet dropped 40% of the total weapons. These aircraft dropped more than 70% of the precision-guided JDAM weapons. The combination of the B-1B and JDAM weapons was so reliable that they were called on to perform close air support for troops on the ground.
Conclusion:
You have no idea what you're taking about, and are talking out of your ass.
Simple enough for you?

Hey, not only is what I said an opinion but it's a facial treatment. Just rub some on your face and see how nice and shiny you become.Originally posted by: freegeeks

Like I give a crap what you think, dood.
The only anal probe around here is this thread.
If I want any further comments from Euro Trash, I'll fart.

I could tell you but then I'd ...
Ah forget it, you'd never believe me even if I could tell you.
Whether this particular incident actually happened as described I can't say ... but in general, you're wrong.
Thanks Marty. Just knowing I'm on your "list" is an honor beyond words. Just think, Knowing that expressing my opinion here is enough for you to join in the name calling and feces flinging. It really warms my heart being disassociated with you in any way shape or form. Please feel free to ignore anything I write at anytime. I will continue to disregard you and your opinion until you show an iota of common sense, higher education or a real life sense of Global Politics.
In other words, blow it out your a$$, blowhard.
OH you're Canadian, THAT explains it........
