What is the point in this?
You have 21 of the at 700 million dollars each and all they do is sit in hangars. Occasionally drop a warhead on a cave in the middle east.
Because they are an advantage over militaries that do not have them.
This idea that war will never happen again in the 1st world is one of the biggest reasons we are seeing so many cultural problems.
When you need it, and you don't have it, you sing a different tune.

It's better to have them and not (always) need them than to need them and not have them.

How would you know how often it is used? It is a stealth plane.

Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy.. the FEAR to attack.

You don now that the leading contribution to the F-117 shootdown was tactical retardation, right?
