Opening (first 30 seconds)
There's a lot of things unique about the B-2 and of course the first thing is is you can't go anywhere without people driving their cars off the road and stopping and getting their cameras out. You know wherever you go you're going to get attention. So, you really can't go anywhere in the daytime and not be noticed and make a big commotion. On the other hand, flying in combat and we do that mostly at night it's all about stealthiness. It's

There's a lot of things unique about the B-2 and of course the first thing is is you can't go anywhere without people driving their cars off the road and stopping and getting their cameras out. You know wherever you go you're going to get attention. So, you really can't go anywhere in the daytime and not be noticed and make a big commotion. On the other hand, flying in combat and we do that mostly at night it's all about stealthiness.
It's all about being quiet, being sneaky, getting in and out and not being detected. So, it's a paradigm shift. My motivation was not only to help deliver an airplane that was was lethal and stealthy and did all the wonderful things it was designed to do, but also bring the command into a whole new mindset of warfare. Taking us from old dumb bomb mindset into this idea of precision and stealthiness as our new way of doing business.
The words are the caption track's own and nothing is reworded or re-transcribed. Paragraph breaks are placed between sentences so the text reads as prose.
