These planes aren't used often. They're strategic bombers and the most expensive of America's bombers too. Both in per flight hour cost and absolute cost

The B2 spirit is primarily made for the nuclear deterrence and warfare role. They are designed to penetrate air defense systems by being stealthy, A concept that was proved by the f-117 Nighthawk.

But since they have a heavy payload they're also used to drop conventional bombs occasionally. When you have to service a large amount of targets or use really big bombs, A strategic bomber is the go-to solution. They used B2 in this case for what my guess is these reasons

  • stealthy means they can get past radar systems and they can shrink any warning time
  • The B2 is the only plane rated to carry the gbu-57 bunker busting bomb. The facilities they were trying to destroy were fortified, so most other bombs wouldn't work.

They're being ordered to do these things? No National guardsman wants to do domestic stuff. It's not like this is a disaster relief operation. They're being used as pawns in domestic politics. Something that they are trained to stay out of.

Honestly wearing a black wedding dress would be fucking awesome. I'm having a lesbian wedding anyway, so I could add some spice.

I thought that the Russians liked genocide. They have been pursuing policies of russification for centuries

This one seems pretty arcane to me

It's not about cost for care benefits to the patients, it's purely an ideological thing.

I can't speak of the cost to Medicare but I can speak to the cost to the military.

The DoD spent 52 million dollars over 10 years on gender affirming care. It will spend 18 billion on replacing all of the trans service members that it is kicking out.

This means it will take 3,000 years of GAC to catch up with the cost of dismissing all of these service members.

They do. Otherwise it would sound like Chat JPT. So they say Chat J'ai Pété

Digging through a meme that I probably found in 2014. I guess I kept it around for a reason Some people aren't really that smart, but they more than make up for it in heart

I'm just imagining how much logistic support they're going to need and how many people they'll have to move for this
