Just Imagine The B-52’s Over The SBC Armed With Frickin’ Laser Beams!
It's hard to argue with the fact that America has the most advanced military in the world. Both China and Russia have had some recent breakthroughs, but the USA is still #1.
How do we do it? With amazing freedom-delivery systems like the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress that are able to carry 70,000 pounds of Democracy any where in the world, it's no wonder that our air-superiority game is the envy of every country on the globe. Another essential cog in the machine that keeps us on top is innovation. Smart munitions, directed energy, autonomous and semi-autonomous systems, cyber-weapons - America is leading the field!
One of the best aspects of this is the retrofitting we do on existing systems to extend the life of what we already own. Whenever we build a new thing, we make sure as many of our other things can use it as possible.

I would bore you with details of how lasers are more accurate, powerful, and efficient - but you are already making laser sounds with your mouth.
