A post-action report from Iraq describes the effect of the new weapon: "One unit disintegrated a large one-storey masonry type building with one round from 100 meters. They were extremely impressed." Elsewhere it is described by one Marine as "an awesome piece of ordnance." It proved highly effective in the battle for Fallujah. This from the Marine Corps Gazette, July edition: "SMAW gunners became expert at determining which wall to shoot to cause the roof to collapse and crush the insurgents fortified inside interior rooms." They're calling it an "NE" weapon, for "Novel Explosive." I do so enjoy these dry euphemisms the Pentagon employs. They used to call a-bombs "Special Weapons" or "Specials."

Posted by: Defense Tech's Copyright Lawyer on November 18, 2005 01:05 PM Yeah, you got to play in the majors to get access to the really cool stuff, but man-portable thermobarics? That's just too cool. I remember the story going around in GWI when some SAS boys working behind the lines thought the Yanks had gone nuts and started nuking Iraqi positions. We were just using Daisy Cutters to try and clear mine fields. Now we're giving on soldier the power to drop a building? Too fucking cool. Posted by: Robert Modean on November 18, 2005 01:20 PM And I enjoyed reading the liberal pants-wetting in the comments about the use of this "immoral" weapon. You ask people to care about AMERICAN lives. It is precisely because of these attitudes that people like me project our anger about the lies and actions of the US administration onto the US soldiers. Posted by: V the K on November 18, 2005 01:55 PM Ah, so it's the GOVERNMENT'S fault the liberals don't support the troops, eh? Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 18, 2005 04:16 PM I need new glasses. I read the title as "Thermo-barbaric." ;-) Posted by: Mary in LA on November 18, 2005 06:36 PM One only major flaw in this weapon that I can see is that I can't order one on Amazon. Defense Tech's writers seem to be borderline moonbat. Posted by: holdfast on November 18, 2005 06:54 PM Was it good for you, too?
