"BUFDRVR" wrote in message ... I've seen the term "carpet bombing" bandied about for years. I've never seen or heard a definition. Is there one? A generally accepted one? I generally dislike the term since it's often applied to the BUFF and seems to mean to most in the world media; "dropping 6 or more bombs at once". The definition to most of the present and former aviators I know appears to be "bombing a target *area* rather than a target itself". Carpet bombing: Large amounts of munitions dropped over an area to dispense of bad guys and tactical targets.........in other words, opening all the bays at once to achieve maximum use of force...WTF is wrong with that as long as mission accomplished? -- Pup USAF, Retired Go #88 UPS Racing, Detroit Red Wings, Ohio State Buckeyes __________________ |
