#1 Seems like such mixed messages from DC pols lately. Sucking up / knuckling under to China. Building B-21 Raider and Colombia Class SSBNs. Lets see how GBSD and LRSM go (or don't) to get a feel for the longer term.

#2 Having worked USAFB'S.
The B52's were usually refered to as BUF's by many personnel. Depending on the model SOME could survive a HEMP and still deliver.

Old school could deliver ... and still can.

#4 Damn straight, I worked with a retired BUFF pilot that flew his Buff back from Vietnam with no hydraulics! Also found out Dr Strangelove got the frying chickens in the barnyard right but he had three parcels he was supposed to deliver somewhere by ground burst. Sort of ruins a CNC bunker's day.
