Leave food to attract rodents and their predators, poo poo in corners and creative spaces.

Alternatively, drop two 2000lb JDAMs on the FOB. :black101:

Unironically yes. Tell the president that it'll take 4 weeks to dismantle the base to prevent Russia ISIS from taking it over. In the meantime, he'll either forget or something will happen to change his mind, and we'll be in position to at least glare menacingly at Turkish genocide squads.

Oh, if I was in charge I'd booby trap the gently caress out of it. Then after they send in teams to clear it, bomb the place to hell. Rinse repeat until they're too afraid to enter any abandoned FOBs.

Ya. gently caress mines and CBU. That poo poo is loving awesome in theory but the reality is just a nightmare for people that are not in anyway involved in the conflicts.

Land mines, mustard gas, cross bows whatever have been a blight on their time. It’s not the tools but war itself that is the blight. Problem with this philosophy 101 class? Get China/Russia to stop. What morale high ground can be achieved when you live in their shadow

Hrm yes the terrorists cut the heads off living civilians, clearly that means it's an option for us because it's the war not the tools

It's also nice if when you're done killing people, the land you killed them on becomes useful for other purposes.

Based on the results coming out of Ukraine, you might as well try outlawing artillery. Submunitions have overturned some of the fundamental relationships of the combat arms, and fighting a peer opponent without them isn't going to be possible.

That's a good point. Cluster bombs have been around for decades and now modern artillery rounds have sub-munitions to deal with infantry and armor simultaneously. Whatever the dud rate is, it's too high.

The Boeing 737-200QC is the undisputed workhorse of the skies.
Seriously, duds are a thing. A terrifying thing. Even mining explosives - pretty much the best case scenario for blowing poo poo up in a controlled environment - dud sometimes.

A facility I work with had a road excavated from a rock face. Five years later the frost / thaw cycle worked a stick of unexploded dynamite from a blasting hole and into the ditch.

Thankfully this is an industrial facility where the workers are trained to recognize hazmat and know how to deal with explosives, not some abandoned third world village where barefoot children scavenge for scraps.

The child of a terrorist, or terrorist-adjacent farmer, is still a loving child.
