3/27/2011 1:53:27 AM ET The B-2 was designed as a Cold War first strike weapon. Be thankful that we are no longer in the position to need it for that mission but that we are prepared should such a threat arise in the future. Were missile drills not real world enough? Just because we never used them for their original purpose doesn't mean we aren't justified in having them and maintaining them.

3/25/2011 7:19:51 AM ET Good Job. Glad to see the B-2 FINALLY is doing something to justify the billions it has cost us to buy it. I commend the men and women that support this aircraft day to day, and I am glad they are glad to be actually doing real world stuff rather than just fllying to Guam all the time.
