The US Air Force has destroyed an Isis stronghold after an extremist let slip their location on social media.

According the Air Force Times, General Herbert Hawk Carlisle, commander of Air Combat Command, said that Airmen at Hulburt Field, Florida, used images shared by jihadists to track the location of their headquarters before destroying it in an airstrike.

Gen Carlisle told the Air Force Association: The [airmen are] combing through social media and they see some moron standing at this command.

So they do some work, long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building, three JDAMS (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) take that entire building out... Bombs on target in 22 hours.
