29 years ago I decided to devote my adult life to the defense of our country. For the last 20, I have been managing the working level people who engineer manned bomber weapons system upgrades to counter a wide variety of threats, offensively and defensively. The aeronautical engineers who have spent time leaning over the engine compartment of my '69 are a veritable "who's who" of B-1B and B-2 aircraft development and upgrade. Finer people you will not meet. We have been, in bad times and good, proud of our accomplishments. I can assure you that when the time comes for retaliation, the U.S. Air Force (Air Combat Command) will be ready... and may God help and forgive them for for what they have done...
