Good News: B2s and Cocky Quotes back in Action

Air Force news story here. But I was more taken with this delightful quote from General Gary Harencack:

"The B-2 is airpower at its purest, most elegant and deadliest form," the general said.

Open admiration for air-delivered death and destruction is rare in this day and age of politically correct Air Force leadership. Some people think that military leaders should play the part of remorseful warrior, always apologetic for the terrible violence they must commit in defense of the Republic. Nonsense...let good men like General Harencack make our enemies squirm.
