Beloved, they have always sought change and they have sought to implement it by power politics, by war, by massacre of entire towns and lifewaves, by science and invention, by humanism. But, my beloved, the only permanent change that has ever been wroug... read more

*TNI Staff* *Stealth Bombers, * It never came to fruition. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Navy had envisioned the need for a carrier-based penetrating strike aircraft with extended ranges during the 1980s given rapidly advancing Soviet capabilities.
