Aircraft shelters don’t move, right?

Is using a B-2 cheaper than cruise missiles or are we running low on the Tomahawks already?

Good grief....

Did I accidentally click on Democratic Underground?!?!?

Just listen to all of you... WTF?!?!?

This was a readiness capabilities test, just showing to the world (aka China) that these beasts can do such an act.

Now imagine all 20 of them leaving Whitman AFB for points in NK or China with nukes, if the time come...

Keeping these guys and gals sharp is far more important than any political agenda... Obama won;t be president forever...

Ya’ll need to stop acting like whiny Democrats....

Well I doubt it - though Tomahawks ain’t cheap ($1 million each or there abouts.) What a B2 CAN do that a tomahawk can’t is to be retargeted, or take care of targets of opportunity.

There are reasons to use it over other weapons systems. The other simple fact is that the military has never been great at cost savings... that isn’t what they are for ;-) Their job is to kill people and break things in an efficient, violent manner.
