Given that the above makes a lot a sense, can someone explain to me
why the hell our government is spending billions upon billions of
our tax dollars to build the B1?

We're making the B-1B strategic bomber initiative to counter today's
threat environment; I think even you'll concede that today's concept
of warfare is somewhat changed from the days of the B-58 or the B-70.

Further discussion on this topic should be directed to net.politics or
some other appropriate place.  Let's talk about aviation here.
