And neither of those aircraft have ANYTHING to do with Boeing. (Think Lockheed, a different and unconnected company that competes visciously with Beoing) And therein is the proof of why these socalled defense subisidies falls flat.
EADS's military contracts are larger than Boeings, much larger by their own admission. Though the US spends a lot of defense, we have dozens of defense contractors.
