You know one of those last remaining al Qaeda in Anbar types is
stoking up the game to get just one V-22.
That is probably true. They will target everything from Humvees,
C-130's, and the Osprey. What is the point in that statement? They
will target anything to hurt us.
The sad thing is that some of the most outspoken critics of the
Osprey, some of our own citizens and members of this group, seem to be
hoping for it only to bolster their argument against it.
As I said before, every platform out there has weaknesses, there is
nothing, repeat nothing in our arsenal that can't be killed. Men will
die in the Osprey, it is going to happen. Who in this group is going
to find that to be a good event and use it to say "I told you so?" I
can think of a couple that will. And they disgust me.

I guess everybody has some mountain to climb.
It's just fate whether you live in Kansas or Tibet...

David Markley decided that my offering an "early warning" to those who
post in this group was some form of "rooting for American soldiers to
die". Far from it, the more the V-22 flies milk runs, the sooner some
bright type will work out a means of hitting it in the air or on the
ground.
Jack, my name is Dean. And I didn't decide anything. I merely stated
that your writing made it sound like you were rooting for American
soldiers to die. I know what you mean now that you have clarified it.
However your original writing was NOT that clear.
