Now rotate the globe to the other side of the planet. Put your finger down. This is where your NSFS is needed. Now how long will it take you to provide it when your one and only asset is on the other side of the world?!

Stealth plus smaller, more lethal munitions means fewer aircraft need be risked to hit the same target set.

Look at the loadout chart for just an F-18. It can carry various dumb bombs, various JDAMs, JSOWs, various WCMDs, various LGBs, Mavericks, HARMs, cruise missiles. In the future, you can add SDB, and various other advanced munitions.
Now add to that unique weapons carried by heavy bombers like MOAP and other large penetrators.
If munition flexibility is what you want, airpower wins hands down.
