The U.S. military dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday just days after a Green Beret was killed fighting ISIS there, a U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News.

The GBU-43B, a 21,000-pound conventional bomb, was dropped in Nangarhar Province.

The MAOB (Massive Ordinance Air Blast) is also known as the “Mother Of All bombs.” It was first tested in 2003, but hadn't been used before Thursday.

For comparison, each Tomahawk cruise missile launched at Syria last week was 1,000-pounds each.

Not really, the MOAB is a terrible choice if you are trying to destroy something in caves or buried down. MOAB detonates around 50 feet from the ground and the blast goes outwards, not down.

Journalists cannot write anymore. The ability to string together an 8 word incomplete sentence that contains a redundant clause is impressive.

It's true. The proliferation of texting and tweeting has even left people who write for a living with the belief that proper grammar and sentence structure don't matter anymore.
