Personally,I have yet to see how the B-1 does in the support role for ground troops. We were supposed to have a B-1 support us in Northern Iraq but the bird burst into flames shortly after landing in Qatar for an enroute refusing stop. Thankfully, the aircrew all escaped before the bird went up in flames. We ended up being supported by a sortie of F-18s instead.
