re: #322 Gus 802

Would take a lot more than 100 B-52s to “flatten the land”. Americans are always looking at violence for answers. And the funny thing is that they don’t think that the rest of the world notices.

Wingnut militarism is comically ill-informed. We don’t have 100 B-52s. There are 93, all H models, still available. Of these, 66 are operational, and 27 are held in short response reserve. Of the 659 other B-52s built, 30 were combat losses, 74 were lost in accidents, and the rest were scrapped or consigned to museums, usually in accord with arms reduction treaties.
