So all is not well...

So RAND and a fat cat senior fellow at a think tank/consulting business are calling for MORE money? Color me shocked. While some of the recommendations especially hardening some links seem on mark, lots of this gee whiz stuff seems rife with the need to keep consultants and integrators well fed.

An giving the B-1's to the US Navy? No thanks- just task the air force with serious maritime denial. Imagine the B-21 could have a role there.
