A still from a video released by the U.S. Air Force of the MOAB being dropped on ISIS militants.
The United States Air Force dropped a 21,600-pound Massive Ordnance Air Blast, or MOAB, bomb on what it said were ISIS militants in Afghanistan on Thursday. At least 36 people were killed in the explosion from the largest American non-nuclear bomb.
But beyond the human cost, there was a debate about the financial price. And it isn’t as much as everyone was saying.
