The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

and used up virtually all of Americas long-range missiles attacking Iran.

Really doesn't matter if the high end munitions are expended. He can load up BUFFs with dumb, iron, bombs, and carpet bomb Iran. Precision doesn't matter, when the objective is to make Iran look like Gaza: wrecked buildings and dead people. He can have old F-15s and F-16s pulled out of the boneyard, and use them to drop more iron bombs.

Current surplus inventory, per the net sifter:

42 F‑15C/D Eagle (42 total, 32 mission‑ready)

133 F‑15E Strike Eagle (133 total, 105 mission‑ready)

27 F‑15EX Eagle II (all mission‑ready)

F‑16s stored: 1,073 airframes at AMARC and other USAF sites


Start with the Strike Eagles. Pull pilots from other types, give them a quick familiarization, and load them up. Jordan is heavily dependent on US aid, unlike the Gulf states, so twist their arm to host the squadrons. Then start on the multi-year project to make Iran look like Gaza. Israel will be terribly pleased, because the Iranians will be kept busy clearing rubble every morning, so Isreal would be free to pursue it's ambitions.
