unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.

unhappycamper summary of this article: Expect the crescendo calling for more bombers and stealthy aircraft to continue rising. It should be fun to watch when someone makes a decision whether to buy a new aircraft or buy a new ship or buy a new missile system.
