MODERATORS
How was this calculated? Did it count our proxies? While I'm sure the number is high, that seems a little large and I want to look into it.
It says on average. But it doesn't say whether its per bombs in a single day or averaged over every day and it doesn't say if its 40 years or what. Because it's a kinda low effort dumb meme. Good way to frame things but needs to cite a source or something.
https://progressive.org/latest/usa-bombs-drop-benjamin-davies-220112/ it's a 20 year average, including both bombs and missile strikes, and may include coalition partner bombings when they are acting under US command
https://progressive.org/latest/usa-bombs-drop-benjamin-davies-220112/ I suspect this is the source (or another source quoting #s from the same 2022 pentagon report)
it's a 20 year average
Its insane that its a 20 year average
yeah! and not including people they sell weapons to, just forces under active US command, like wtf
Awesome. Thank you!
it seems a bit large but just operation iraqi freedom accounts for like 1.5 years at 46/day so its not implausible lol. Once you start including proxies it almost could be lowballing it
Just hook me up to the IV. Pump it straight into my veins.
I've appropriated the meme format 
Would be funnier if there was 46 small pills
46 very large, but easy for Americans to swallow pills
They're 99% sugar, like every other food in this country
:)
Idk what about Genshin Impact?
hoyoverse dropped 3 bombs on the world, genshin impact, honkai star rail and zenless zone zeroes.
sexist against General Laura Richardson mods please remove
don't post too close to the sun comrade though i know how much it pains one to suffer such accusations u_u
They've started making an*me though recently so that's about as bad
it's okay they only make donghua!
No bombs used in Vietnam? https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/combat-studies-institute/csi-books/how-china-wins.pdf
Pls forgive my pedantry
That was 45 years ago.
Even if we're pedantic and count 1989 (when Vietnam and China ended all border tensions because before there was ovaisonal low level fighting), it's still like 35 years.
Out pedanted, I deserve it
You forgot the failed rockets china drops on their own citizens
I forgot that reddit imbeciles can still find their way here once in a while. Get fucked loser.
Yeah, chinese rockets are famous for failing spectacularly, and they're the only country that would accidentally drop something over the countryside
