Thanks, I never understood how our system seems to retire things at a pace that is not in step with replacement or at least refurbishment. The B-52 fleet is an exception.
That’s how the Military Industrial Complex and those who line their pockets work.
For a long time, it worked pretty well, and we had technological advantages to take up any slack. Now the Russians and Chinese and others are so good at stealing our technology that we are in grave danger. And there are hardly any more Americans who put America first. Too many sell out their country for profit to the highest bidder.
