U.S. B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers from Whiteman AFB conduct precision airstrike in Libya
A pair of U.S. Air Force B-2s leveled two ISIS training camps in Libya on Jan. 18. The mission marked the first time the “stealth bombers” had been used in combat since the opening of the Libyan air campaign in March 2011, raising questions about why the costly, low-observable aircraft were employed for targets lacking sophisticated air defenses.

15 tankers.....Not exactly fuel savers !...Little less than 1000 miles per refuel?
Speaking from the viewpoint of a former crewdog, that's a long time to have you butt in a seat.
Did MSM really need to id which base they were from?
That is the only base they are posted. No secrets there.
Because they "lacked sophisticated air defense systems" and the memo about not printin money anymore hasn't gotten out yet. When they manage to successfully bomb a target with
sophisticated air defenses, and come home I'll start to think we got our moneys worth for the generals very expensive "checkers".
