I am tired of novice or inexperienced journalists reporting on subjects they know little about and didn’t take the time to do some research. The latest is how cluster bombs are going to reap havoc on civilians when the Ukraine artillery fire them at the Russian invaders.

            The Russians have been using cluster bombs from aircraft, from cruise missiles, and artillery on towns and cities far from the front. The Ukrainians will use the weapons on the trenches and troop concentrations where that type of munitions is best used.

            Since the bomblets are going to be used on Ukrainian land, they will record the location for future inspection and demolition of any unexplored ordinance. The Russians use it as a terror weapon against civilians and the more bomblets that didn’t explode on contact the better for the terror effect.

            For those novice reporters to use in their future reporting, more soldiers were killed in World War I and II by artillery than guns. The same is probably true of Viet Nam and the current war. Both sides are firing thousands of rounds each day.

            The reason why the cluster shells from the rockets and artillery is needed is to blow holes through the extensive Russian mine fields and trench defenses.

            We need to do everything we can short of putting troops into the Ukraine during the war. It serves our National Security against our “Enemies” now and in the future. Those who think their disruptions in Congress and Senate will benefit them at the expense of America’s security should be shunned.
