Who cares if the SR71 is useless from a spy/intelligence standpoint. Fly it anyway!

It took >$100MIL in 1995 to get just three SR-71 activiated. Then Clinton shut it down 2 years later. We do have to spend wisely for qualified assets.

I know... I know... *heaves heavy sigh*

Maybe if we tacked it onto the space station budget no one would notice.
