Re: B52s/B2s...
Doesn't look like all that high glamour air power was too effective fighting against a bunch of bearded rag heads, mostly armed with improvised explosive devices, carrying a light machine gun designed seventy years ago, and some propelled grenades designed fifty five years ago.
Yep.. that's why the grunts love the A-10 for air support. The B's are strategic and use them for tactical just doesn't make any sense. It's like tossing a nuke when a hand grenade will do the job.
