      Only reason I’m not okay with bombing Nazis, is I know some decent people who have the misfortune to live next to one.

      Well. Maybe that ninja-blade hellfire. (Does that count as a bomb?)

        That’s what we’ve got that new flying ginsu munition for!

        All the precision bombs lack with infinitely more agony for the unfortunate target of basically being slap chopped at terminal velocity.

          Somebody needs to deep fake Billey Mays selling these things as the “GinsuChop.”

          “Now with AutoChop action, no need to hurt your wrist slap-chopping Nazis!”

          “….but wait, there’s more, all in the next five minutes, and get the special limited edition Hello Kitty ‘Hug Me’ nose art Free

          “And we’re not done yet!! Buy now, and you’ll receive not one, but Two GinsuChop™️ missiles. And if you add the SuperChop delux launcher kit, we’ll add another Four!”

          “All statements void where prohibited…”

        The picture is a Lancaster dropping a “blockbuster” bomb in conjunction with incendiary bomblets.

        Wrecking and torching a city is not OK in my book. But I’m less concerned with the health of individual nazis.

          like I said… only reason I’m not okay with that photo… I know a guy I’d rather not like to see bombed in pest control… y’know? And for the record, I knew it was a Lancaster. knew a guy who built “museum grade” 1/4scales for very-local airshows (think count fairs and kids at schools. they were all R/C, mind. Those were beautiful. Even better was the ‘kiddie scale’ b-25… that he’d open up and let the kids go inside and go to town… it was scaled so it would ‘feel’ full-sized. Yes. He’d disable the engines, but the control surfaces all worked. Like handing the kids crack-laced sugar.)

          But. the jokes… the hellfire missile we’re talking about has blades that spring out on it. probably a billion+ R&D racket there…
