miracles produced by people who think and look like these people -- the fair, the dark, evil with unblinkingyes, the strong with their willing muscles, and those less strong, but as willing, the braided schoolgirls, the white-haired grandmothers, the old, the young, the young-old, the little ones, and the less little ones working together in infinite harmony. their goal, peace. these workers are the lucky ones who see the finished product of their labor roll off the line. every hour of every day, they are witness to this awe-inspiring ceremony. this wedding of material and man-hours. this climax of man's conquest of air. but what of the others who helped, however remotely, to create a weapon that they have never seen? the lumberjack who chop the trees that became the blueprints. and the miner of coal. the sweating men who forged the craft. the citizens who paid for the fortress with their purchase of war bonds. their efforts, initiated all across the land and converging in this vaulted roof. here, the sum of their energies assume shape, stature, and meeting. here is the final meeting of ever

fierce that people have a command for unblinking eyes in the sky. >> i.s. r is always short. yes, i could use more i.s. r. i understand the calculus by which it has been apportioned at the way it's been apportioned. the airport runs most of the drones for the united states. it can field 60 to 65 flights. the pentagon would like to increase that by a third over four years, so the airports would do 60 flight a day. there are 10 to 20 drones flown by the army, 10 for special operations, and another 10 that is unnamed surveillance planes from contractors. that requires the u.s. to build drones, training drone pilots. they are a bargain compared to manned flights. take the m 9 raper, $40 million, the s 35 stealth fighter, $134 million. it prompted the navy secretary to say that this will be the new normal. the navy secretary said: there was push back on that from the air force who sees a future for manned planes as well. >> that's quite a statement. >> jamie mcintyre for us at the pentagon, thank you. >> north western university suffered a major defeat off the field. the wildcats

of friendly faces, but what caught my eye was an unfamiliar, dark-skinned face that stared at me unblinking from the other side of the ball beroom. in fact, as i looked, there were several unfamiliar faces, all of them seemed turned in my direction with eyes that stared right into mine and fixed smiles that seemed to remain in place, though not without effort. i blinked, not completely sure what i was seeing. i craned my neck to get a better look, and as i did, his face suddenly reflected a flash of light from the photographer's camera, and i understood. along the perimeter of the room were life-sized cardboard cutouts, each representing a kind of different business activity. some of the cardboard people stood among props and equipment. in one corner was an older woman from east africa smiling and holding chickens, and on a rustic looking chicken, someone had placed a brown basket with a carton of plastic eggs. a cutout of a younger, dark-skinned woman with a secondhand t-shirt and a long skirt held some kind of grain in her hands and stood among several potted plants. on the ground were he

commanders around the world was fierce for those unblinking eyes in the sky. >> i.s.r. is always short. yes, i could use more, but i understand the calculus by which it has been apportioned at the way it's been apportioned right now. >> the u.s. air force conducts the bulk of drone missions around the world right now. right now it's capable of flying about 60 to 65 drones every day on missions for commanders. the pentagon would like to increase the flights by about a third, increasing it to about 90-100 flights a year. they would do that by keeping the air force flying about 60 drone flights, adding 10-20 flown by the u.s. army, another 10 by special operations forces and then 10 more that would be unmanned flown by contractors. that would require training more drone pilots and building more drones, but drones are a bargain compared to expensive manned aircraft. the mq9 reaper for instance, costs $40 million, if you include a ground station, where as the new f35 stealth fighter, $144 million. it's one of the things that programmed the navy secretary to say earlier this
