Imagine sitting in the cockpit of the most expensive and sophisticated B2 bomber, flying non-stop for 37 hours, battling fatigue, chemical stimulants, and toilet troubles at high altitude! Seven stealth bombers, each with a two-person crew, carried out one of the longest airstrikes in modern military history, targeting three nuclear facilities in Iran. Pilots had to alternate on tiny beds, take pills to sleep and stay awake, and use urine bags — all while flying halfway around the world! Retired Colonel Melvin G.

Could you endure being trapped in a plane for nearly two days, with only a bottle of water per hour and no privacy? Comment below — who do you think is the real hero of this mission, and who’s just an adrenaline junkie!
