A simple question? You are asking me why your company prefers foreigners over Americans? You tell me. Is everyone supposed to know what business you are in? No, I don't know, and I don't care. Is everyone supposed to know you do not represent a US company? No, I don't know and I don't care.

If someone says the military is supplied by US companies, and you point out that some of them have foreign connections, and some may not be US companies, then does it make you feel cool to immediately start tossing comments like "you lied to everyone on this board". No, it makes you look like a nine year old kid who likes to argue and bicker just to pass the time. And no, I did not say all the parts are made in US, so your claim is false. Is it now my turn to display fake anger and call you a liar? No, I am not into your games.

Have a pleasant afternoon. So long.
That's it, confronted and run away....So sorry....for you

Do you happen to know the answer to these questions above..........I'm curious as to why?? If we are in such need of military equipment, why are we not building jobs here in America.

Don't tell me, these countries know more about missiles and military equipment, than America does.

We are not the only place (the U.S.A.) that builds or make's parts for ACFT. Companies bid on things like this and who ever says they can deliver for the cheapest price, with our standards....wins...

Parts can be built to U.S. standards in other countries for a lower price but with the same quality.......

Google QE-STD-1 (this is for manufacturing parts) and QE-STD-2 (this is for overhaul of parts).

If a company wants to build or overhaul parts for the Army, these are the minimum standards they must meet, which includes us (the U.S. Government) inspection there facilities on a 5 yr basis....

Also Google Critical Safety Items (CSIs). The above standards are for these types of parts...

I could care less what happens to individuals supported by the most advanced military technology in the world who willingly engage in combat. Nobody said it was going to be a picnic, so everyone better realize that.

Get out of there now! Or tell the real reason we are there and let the people decide. If it is the oil then say it. What ever my President get us out.

It's never ceases to amaze me how low people's hatred will drag them in terms of insulting their own intelligence and sense of decency.

Thanks for reminding me.

Actually I wouldn't even know what I was looking at. I'm just a girl with lots of questions.

So, with the above in mine how does this keep our technology safe. Is this how information is sold to China and other countries who hate us?? This really doesn't make much sense to me.
