Last year, the United States dropped an estimated total of 23,144 bombs in six countries.
Of these, 22,110 were dropped in Iraq and Syria.
This estimate is based on the fact that the United States has conducted 77 percent of all airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, while there were 28,714 U.S.-led coalition munitions dropped in 2015.
This overall estimate is probably slightly [B]low, because it also assumes one bomb dropped in each drone strike in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, which is not always the case.

Makes you wonder why they don't just drop a single nuke and have done with it.
I guess thousands of conventional bombs make the weapons companies and their politician shareholders more money than a single nuke though
