They're so fixated on bashing the V-22 that they don't suggest any
alternatives, other than a "generic" helo.


SNIP

Any other generic helicopter can do nearly everything the V-22 can do,
and are cheaper, more reliable, and have a lot more room inside (So
troops can not only stand up, but walk out the back side by side.

The "problem" is. these "generic" helicopters aren't made in the US (If
the UH-60 series isn't considered suitable).


Right

the V-22 chant is 'WE SPENT ALLL THE MONEY ONE THIS TURKEY SO YOU HAVE
TO BUY IT"

No you don't

You dont reinforce failure

How much is your share of AIG?
