The MOAB is on display

Shortly before the Iraq war, the Air Force tested a new bomb, the 21,000 pound bomb called MOAB. 14 were built. Now one bomb is on display at Eglin museum and the military does not have any plans to build more. With the one unit that was tested, that means the Air Force still has 12 in inventory. They won't need anymore unless Korea or another place decides it wants to be an Iraq. The US didn't use them in Iraq because Sadam's army melted away before they were needed.
