I suspect that defense intelligence backed up Midnight Hammer, while the compromised intelligence agencies were not used or led astray.

The operational security of Midnight Hammer was as impressive as the bombs themselves.

Spot on and totally true: "None of the B2 pilots got that assignment because they were LGBTQ, had ancestry on the Iberian peninsula of Europe, because they were an Asian-Pacific Islander...."

Also true, however: None who were otherwise best qualified were excluded because of those identity factors, and not all that long ago they could have been (and most recently, if they were gay and thus barred from military service).
