32. Well, I Agree, However. . .
. . .i think the military should know which targets will be be "destroyable" though air power, and which won't. They may be "set to kill and devastate" but they are the experts in tactics and capability. I would think it patently obvious that the smaller and more mobile a target is, the more difficult it becomes to hit at distance.

Geez, i'm no military expert, but i know it's harder to make a putt from 50 feet than from 5. The hole is, on a relative basis to distance, "smaller". So, the smaller a target is, the more difficult it is to hit from far away. I can't fly a fighter or a bomber. I can't fire long range artillery. But even i know that.
