President Trump is, thus far, very pleased with our first-ever field use of the MOAB bomb. The GBU-43B, as it’s also known, was dropped on a known ISI tunnel complex. The bomb was first tested in 2003 but this is the first time it’s ever been used in combat.
“We have given [the military] total authorization,” Trump said ahead of a meeting with first responders. “Frankly, that’s why they’ve been so successful lately.”
“We have incredible leaders in the military, we have an incredible military and we’re very proud of them, and this was another very, very successful mission,” he said.
The MOAB bombing comes days after a Green Beret was killed in action fighting ISIS in the region. Time to take this to the next level, right?
