| #5 Next gen will be a non-manned system piloted by some kid in front of their game console who won't be able to tell whether the MMORPG they're playing is just another session to get a new high score or the actual run on a target someplace in the world. |

| #1 But you can't really compare yesterday's bombers to tomorrow's, argues Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. David Deptula. It's a mistake to even think of the new plane as a bomber, he says. "If you look at Next-Generation Bomber - I wouldn't call it a bomber, because that creates a perception based on historical uses of bombers that this platform is going to be well beyond," Deptula tells Danger Room. "This platform is going to have the ability to conduct intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, act as a communications node -- and have the added capability of providing strike." |
