I'm not sure how they got such a specific estimate as 36 ISIS fighters killed without digging up all of the collapse tunnel and cave systems in the Nangarhar Province.
That said, the aim here wasn't to kill ISIS, but to destroy their caves and tunnels so Afghan soldiers and US advisers can come in and slaughter the survivors and retake the area.
Fun-fact: The Nangarhar Province is one of the world's prime location for growing opium!
President Trump just fucked up the CIA's key opium supply!

Don't think for one minute that Obama is gone. You may not have heard about him publically today, but he is still very active creating his new political party.

A lot of this is to prevent further action.
This is how you shock and awe. Keep the other countries from stepping up their war game

Seems like a big waste of time and money for 36.

The aim wasn't to kill ISIS but remove their tunnels, caves, sniper nests and landmines... so the Afghan army and US advisers can move in safely and re-take the area... because the Nangarhar Province is one of the world's prime location for growing opium!
