The real take away from this is that the V-22 detractors have nothing left but to nit pick press releases. First they said it wouldn't go Iraq, then it went. Then it wouldn't see any real action, then it did. Then 'why isn't it in Afghanistan, what are the Marines hiding", then it went.
Now they are left with nothing but to try and make up their own statistics by taking a press release a little to literally. Never mind that the end customer is happy with what they got, because they obviously don't know nearly as much as some ppruner does.
