  • Plan — eliminates nuclear bomber leg of US strategic Triad; removes wiring, signals, dual-capable mission from B-2/B-52
  • Advantage 1: First-Strike Doctrine — Air Force 'cult of the offensive' drives overconfidence in stealth, leading to forward-deployed dual-capable bombers misread by adversaries as first-strike posture; risk of inadvertent nuclear war
  • Advantage 2: Modernization/Stability — US nuclear modernization race with China/Russia; bomber modernization uniquely destabilizing because dual-use ambiguity; submarines lack same first-use doctrine
  • Internal link distinction — bombers uniquely proximate to adversary borders; subs don't carry same Air Force superiority doctrine
  • Timeframe/urgency — service timelines fragile, no margin for compromise; evidence from ~2023-24
