I was always in Ops squadrons when I was in the Air Force, and have
never seen the kind of money that is in the B-2 budget for Palmdale,
Tinker, and Whiteman. Working alongside Northrop has shown me
how to make millions in minutes, for basically telling Generals and
Colonels what they want to hear. Regardless if Northrop ever delivers.

I had a guy who's been with Northrop for 20 years tell me that they are
not updating the B-2 modification database, and they are delivering the
wrong parts to the field. His boss in LA told him not to worry about it,
because the Air Force has decided not to fund the database, and when
they finally realize their mistake, they will be able to make millions

fixing
the problem, and only thousands if they were sustaining.


There's this problem. If Northrop performed work to create and maintain that
(unfunded, unscoped) database and charged the labor to the government,
someone would go to jail.

Right. No "JN", no work.
