Exrigger - interesting arguement until you consider that the US Department of Defense is BAE's biggest customer, accounting for just under 50% of the company's annual income.
Think you will find that same BAE is the biggest (by some margin) overseas supplier to the US armed forces. And the USN is the largest operator of Hawk, albeit a Boeing-built variant, specifically adapted for carrier operations.
Suggest it's not quite as black as the picture you and others paint.
