      A previous tweet incorrectly stated the yield of the Hiroshima bomb.

          To be fair, if the visual compared power rather than length, the picture of the MOAB would be too small to see next to the atomic bomb. :)

          This graphic would be MUCH more useful: comparative yield of MOAB (tiny circle), 10 kiloton nuclear bomb & 180 kiloton yield. HT @bwrose83pic.twitter.com/xXSqARBm3l

          Maybe stop trying so hard to push a liberal agenda and focus on journalistic integrity and this won't happen as often 👌🏼

          15 kilotons is would be fairly accurate...the plutonium bomb used on Nagasaki yielded 20-25

          Except originally they said 15 tons.

          Maybe you should delete the fucking tweet then, instead of leaving it up to cause more confusion.

          Sooo.. the "Mother of all Bombs" yields about 0.07% the explosive power of the "Little Boy Bomb" dropped on Hiroshima. Poor analogy.

          Air Force gave it the nickname not USA Today.

          The graphic and analogy are misleading by orders of magnitude. I don't care about the nickname.

          Graphic? Sure. Not that physical size of bomb means much. Sounds like complaining to hear yourself complain.

          The information given is now correct. If you think physical size matters, especially when comparing nuclear to non nuclear that's on you.

          Explosive power matters, not size. Nuclear analogy is wrong many ways. Say "about 20x yield of Tomahawk" - better CONVENTIONAL analogy.

          Why? They specifically say it is the largest non nuclear bomb used. Comparing it to a Nuke shows the difference.
