"The fight between Northrop and its archrivals was high-profile and hard-fought. The lucrative bomber contract is one of the largest in Air Force history."

I'm predicting a F-35 type program disaster.

The story I read this morning stated that the new bomber would have a feature/ability to fly without a pilot. I hope they get the software and Sat links right. No matter though, RPAs never end up as a smoking hole. LOL!

Doesn't matter. We put in airstrikes on known hospitals now because some grunts "thought" it had ISIS people in it.

Please shut your mouth and don't talk about what you don't know,especially when it has to deal with our troops and the split second life and death decision they have to make everyday.

Trolling is a way of life for you.

And they want to do away with the 20-year AD retirements in favor of a TSP style account.

Did it happen? In case you didn't know it, calling in an airstrike on a hospital is war crime. But then, I guess you're a big supporter of Lt. Calley and My Lai. Since you're probably too young to remember it, google it. But, then, in your fevered world, the troops can do no wrong.
