Air Force Unveils Name of Future Stealth Bomber as B-21 'Raider'.

Will each one get an individual name. I can see Howie Long, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, John Madden.

I like it.

Now build 170-200 of them...not a rediculous 20.

20 of something like this is what the Dems and RINOs give us, then they complain about the cost per article when they orginally lead the manufacturer on with higher numbers.

These aircraft (and the new ships) are full of the world’s absolute best and cutting edge technology...which cost a lot of time and money to create. But then they cut back the order to these ridiculous numbers, the ROI for these companies has to be high for them to make any profit, particularly when they did their intial calculations based on hundreds (in the case of aircraft) and dozens (in the case of ships.

Anyhow, by all accounts the B-21 is a tad smaller than the B-2, with less range, but with as good stealth and with better sensor fusion.

As I say, build 200 of them and ensure that they are nuclear capable if ever needed.

F-35 will be the last piloted combat aircraft program, it’ll be all drones for the Navy and Air Force.

Nixon fought to win the Vietnam war. He got screwed by the congresscritters that called themselves "doves" and by cronkite and the LSM who distorted reality.

Nixon went into Cambodia to ream out the commies hiding there. Then we got screwed by cronkite and the LSM who distorted reality. They set of the "days of rage" shown on all TV channels every night.

Nixon initiated the "Christmas Bombings" which damn near brought the commies to the point of conceding anything he wanted. Then we got shafted by cronkite and the LSM who distorted reality. We were told the B-52s were bombing schools and hospitals and babies and puppys and kittens. Hanoi jane told them so.

Nixon wanted to fund Vietnamization which would provide support for the South militarily. Then we got shafted by cronkite and the LSM and clowns like kerry who distorted reality. We left the South hanging in the breeze.

Then Nixon was accused of losing the war.

And the congresscritters and LSM celebrated our "failure"

See a trend here?

I don’t know what to think about Nixon. He was very talented. He fought against communism. He surely loved his country. He had reelection in the bag and there was no reason to cheat. I think in the end he was simply too self-serving or self- obsessed. Some have said he had a persecution complex but I think the Press does tend to persecute people.

Let’s hope those idiots keep THIS a bit more secret.

They make more money if they don’t.

Well, the A-12 was a Navy disaster. Putting a first generation stealth aircraft with all those special radar absorbing coatings on a carrier deck? Who thought that was a good idea?

Nixon was villified for political ends. The dims suffered their most embarrasing loss in history with his re-election. They couldn't beat him politically so they enlisted the media as their accomplice to trash his reputation and legacy.

In a pattern often repeated, they get their revenge by trashing the character and legacy of their targets. The same thing is happening to W Bush and now Reagan. History is being outright revised to erase their accomplishments.
