But the e-mail and other documents show just how intent the Air Force
was on steering the deal to Boeing, even though Airbus' tankers were
more capable and cost less.


I personally have a problem with US military equipment being manufactured by
another nation.


Tell it to the Marines.........they're driving around Canadian built
LAVs :-)

And don't even get me started on how much US Army gear was designed
elsewhere.

by an american corporation. you think all US designed cars are built
in the USof A. the Chevy camaro before they were dicontinued were alll
built in Canada.
