"Near the town of Manbij in Syria, the airstrikes destroyed five tactical units, nine fighting positions and an improvised explosive device, according to the Central Command.

The dozen airstrikes in Iraq hit locations near six cities, including Mosul and Tal Afar, destroying tactical units, fighting positions, weapons facilities, mortar systems and check points…"

So, we're bombing sand-bagged foxholes and/or trenches in the desert now, and calling that a win?

What's a "tactical unit" we're attacking?

Sounds like something I had mentioned in another thread … and this should continue … As I posted.
How long is the West going to let this go on ? When Raqqa and Mosul could be surgically hit. And striking a blow directly at Daesh. Realizing there may be CD. But it can be limited. If the concern is creating more jihadis … I think that is going to occur regardless.

The Daesh Center or Gravity … their Caliphate capital has to be hit. If every time Daesh does terrorist attacks like this, I think at least some surgical retaliatory strikes should occur. Even if it means working out the details with the Russians in Syria. The lesser of two evils. And Assad will do what Putin tells him to do.

Even a junior cadet could figure out that striking Raqqa and Mosul surgically is a good tactical move.
