Tyler Rogoway, Foxtrot Alpha/Jalopnik: What This Video Of Jordanian F-16s Striking ISIS Tells Us Is Alarming

Jordan has released a video montage showing the kickoff of its retaliatory air campaign against ISIS in Syria.

Although the idea of such a campaign represents a powerful show of force, the video hints at a much grimmer and more questionable story.
