Just hand him over to the appropriate veterans group.

What a great idea.

Seriously damage, possibly destroy, an aircraft while putting crew at risk. Just to do the job that could be done by one grunt with a baseball bat.

Yup...really well thought out.

We don’t have no belly turrets no more....We gots “stealth”....sneak in, drop a bunch of bombs, sneak out....all to provide a raison d’etre for these bloated, egregiously expensive behemoths meant to execute an entirely different and specialized purpose not remotely related to dropping conventional bombs.

Actually... that reminded me of a story of a Wheels up landing by one.. and the gunner was trapped in the turret.. Can’t remember the details, but I believe the gunner miraculously survived.
