I think this is typical of the Americans. They sell this hardware to foreign nations, there is a change in leadership and then they suddenly have a problem. The famous cases of course being Afganistan and Iraq in recent times

I would like to say, I hope the American Government gets everything it deserves, but I can't because at the end of the day there are lives on the line, and not just American. But they see the chance to make a profit and to hell with what ever happens in five or ten years. The UK sells a lot of arms, why do we not see this issue on the same scale. Maybe because we have the smallest amount of forethought?
