Nope, I know about hiding technology. Would have felt no different if Bush had done this, but he would not have done this.

I drove through Alamagordo NM regularly when I lived in NM and marvled about how quiet it was on the local Ham repeater. I knew a few of the locals, one was a Navy MARS buddy of mine. He would talk to me but it seemed they were the most unfriendly group in the state. That was long before I learned about the Stealth Fighters.

I had many friends that worked at White Sands, Rat Scat, for Lockheed Martin, at Kirkland AFB, at Fort Huchie Koochie, at Los Alamos. They were all very friendly and we did some great community electronic construction projects. But not Holloman AFB, where the fighters were stationed and tested.

My wife and I were married 8 years (now 42) before I knew what her father did for a living. He worked at Pantex for 42 years. It was a place that was not discussed, every. Until one Christmas we visited Amarillo and my in-laws and opened up the Globe News and here was a 2 page spread about the plant. Father-in-law was a division manager there for 15 years. He never talked about it.

We did talk about techie things, he was an EE. We did talk about management insanity that companies are all plagued with. But all I ever learned about his trade was from other sources. I took him for his last visit to the plant just over 3 years ago, just over 1 month before he died.

I truly miss him.

Now, I repeat, No I would feel the same way about W if he did this.
