And we can't just sit down and explain the plan; we have to make a trek into the wilderness, not knowing exactly where the Others are or how close they may be, and set off a big explosion??? Then lament that there isn't enough dynamite to trap all of the tents????

When I'm working in the eastern part of my county, I can sometimes hear the explosions on the Army Base firing range from 10 to 20 miles away, depending on the size of the ordinance.

I'm sorry, but I think the plan is a failure. They'll do more damage with bullets than with dynamite.

Unless........ Jack is full of crap and this is a bogus plan meant to deceive the Lostaways into running away instead of fighting back.
