@ArmySGT.: According to one of those articles I posted, there's some fear that the Russian SAM radars in Syria can detect, track, and target the B2. We probably don't want to risk the embarrassment of losing one of them. AFAIK, we only have about 20 total.
Yes, that's right. It was 21, but one crashed a few years ago.
