Stealth bomber for Area 51 crowd? U.S. military unit apologizes for tweet

[Generic Other]

(Reuters) - A U.S. military unit apologized on Saturday and deleted a tweet that used the specter of a stealth bomber being deployed against any young people who tried to break into the Area 51 base in Nevada.

The tweet, posted on Friday on the Twitter account of the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), took aim at UFO fans and curiosity seekers who poured into the Nevada desert this week, after an online campaign to “storm” the U.S. military base long rumored to house government secrets about extraterrestrial life and spaceships.

Alongside a photo of military men and women standing at attention in uniform in front of a B-2 stealth bomber, it read, “The last thing #Millennials will see if they attempt the #area51raid today.”

They sure seem to get all excited at the prospect of hurting American citizens. BTW, the cops expecting 30k were overprepared for the 100s who showed up. Next, they will probably try and charge those who RSVP'd. Meanwhile, the real threat is in Washington DC.

1. Well,you would sure as hell hear

the sucker and the damn ground shakes like a earth quake when they lift off out of Indian Springs and Nellis. The B-1's are bad enough,but when one of the B-2's get going,hang on,it gets friggin loud and their flight path is usually towards Rachel.

3. I actually saw one pass over my town years ago

And you are right. There was NO stealth involved. But it did look scary as hell.

4. Black Friday at Area 51

I can't believe they were dumb enough to think we were all going to charge the gates at Area 51. How dumb.

Now, we should start the rumor we are going to the border to tear down Trump's wall. And then we should actually do it.
