General Spalding, great speech. I'm just concerned that the Airforce would allow a B2 Pilot like Gen. Spalding to go to mainland China. I wouldn't put it past the MSS to kidnap and torture him for information about the B2's capabilties. I hope no F35, F22, B2 pilots are allowed to do so for the foreseeable future.
