B-2 crash, B-52 in-flight-emergency, F-15s grounded due to severe structural fatigue...My question for Congress: still think it's a good idea to run the military on-the-cheap?!?!

Why is a B-52 out of Barksdale (LA) making an emergency landing in ND in February? Why was it there?
Not that there’s any connection, but this reminds me of the “missing” nuke story from September/October 2006 when someone did not follow protocol/chain of command/whatever regulations and flew nukes across the country. Wasn’t Barksdale a part of that story as well?

My question for Congress: still think it's a good idea to run the military on-the-cheap?!?! Iraq is sucking up every available dollar. Maintenance suffers as a result.
