The term "bomber gap" was used during the Cold War primarily for the purpose of **B. greatly increasing military spending.**
The "bomber gap" referred to the perceived disparity in strategic bomber capability between the United States and the Soviet Union. U.S. officials feared that the Soviet Union had more bombers capable of delivering nuclear weapons, which led to increased military spending and an arms race.
