LETTERS, Page 4 Making Stealth Disappear
At a cost of half a billion dollars each, the B-2 Stealth
bomber must be a lot more than "virtually" undetectable by an
enemy's radar (NATION, July 31). It must be nothing less than 100%
invisible. Megabucks for something that doesn't quite do what it's
supposed to is a huge minus for the national wallet.
Michael G. Driver
San Francisco
There is only one way to make sure that the B-2 Stealth bomber
can remain totally invisible to the Soviets at an acceptable cost
to the U.S. taxpayer: cancel this program -- now!
Paul Dunn
New York City
Congressional critics condemn the Stealth bomber as too
expensive. What are they considering as a cheaper alternative --
disposable bombers with throwaway flight crews? In the final
analysis, the most economical weapon is the one that is so clearly
superior that it will never have to be used.
