Dan Reno, we are all trying to figure out what your last post meant.
Something about socialist armed forces and civilian ill factor?!
Are you implying that "some" Country (other than this of course, how could they otherwise produce a fine element such as you) are tendentially "socialist" and as such do not wish to work?
Or are you implying that involving a civilian manufacturer/service company in the maintenance of a military product automatically increases costs?
Or is this yet another one of your "between the lines" attacks to the US-101/VH-71 manufacturer?
