1. I won't hear a word said against the Osprey

It doesn't crash more than 50% of the time. 60%, tops.

3. Surprisingly enough, this thread started out as a Army Times article.

I went to Boeing's web site to get some info. As I started poking around I found this page --> http://www.boeing.com/bds/a_to_z.html

Did you know Boeing has produced two of the world's most expensive military aircraft?


$2.1 billion




$355 million (deserves mention because we own 187 of them and it's the most expensive fighter jet ever)





Oh, and that MV-22 Osprey costs only $100 million. Each.

2. All the corporations comprising the MIC are making money hand over fist as long as we

keep our "Battlefield Disneylands" in Afghanistan and Iraq.

All the pretty transports, weapons and armaments have to be used to KILL and DESTROY human life in order to justify their continued existence.

Even Boeing's sister piggy, Northrop Grumman Corporation, is moving from California to the Northern Virginia area so they can be ever closer to the mamma government's money teats. :puke:

We're Number 1 in both Arms Manufacture and Dealing. Yippee! :eyes:

4. One of the creepiest tv adverts I saw was Boeing: quick edits of americana & 'family' life...

... interspersed w/flag-military-orgy-overkill and clips of missiles launching (?!) ...the point was obviously to help normalize the idea of a militant populace

5. I appreciate France exports its War Craft to 3rd world countries

"They bring good things to life - for people who can't defend theirself"

6. It's GE that brings good things to life.

7. Tis true.

Perhaps I should take a look at their web site.
