Weapons Of War Weapons of War By Joshua M.Gendron From e-bombs (electromagnetic pulse bombs) to smart bombs to revamped, revised cruise missiles, the United States Military has an arsenal of high tech weapons that have marked a turn in the way wars are fought. Some of the weapons currently in use, during this 2003 war on Iraq have greatly improved since the 1991 Dessert Storm War against the same adversary. Now we have technology that has become known as surgical precision. It seems strange to hear a general say we are at war but plan to preserve life and that we will have minimal casualties. Today’s technology has forever changed the face of war. I plan to discuss just a few of these technological advances in the weapons being used in the current conflict with Iraq. The B-52H Stratofortress is one of the United States Air Force’s most consistent bombers. It is an old airplane, but it is the most capable long-range strike platforms that we are using in the current War Theater. It is capable because of the highly trained crew inside its cockpit. Airmen train very hard in order to fly the B-52H.
