IIRC, we dropped the predecessor to the MOAB during the Gulf War and the Brits thought we had dropped a tactical nuke.

They say that the best weapon is the one that you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree! I prefer... the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far.

Yes, but then we'd have to wait 2 weeks for it to ship, and USPS would probably deliver it to the wrong location or lose it...

How is that effective against caves and tunnels? Does it suck the air out and suffocate the occupants?
