Hunter has always preferred American Engineers too.

I have no idea, but it was a lovely pic. An F-22 model.

I just e-mailed this story out to all of my friends.

I recommend everyone do likewise!

The bad news is that American shipyards have long had problems with meeting budgets and delivery schedules.

Another thing I believe that a 'President Hunter' could address.

Do you think the C-130 would have turned out as well as it did if Lockheed hadn’t hired the best aircraft engineers from England that it could find? Do you think the US would have won the race to the moon without the Germans in the rocket program?

Military procurement should center around getting the best product for our fighting men at the lowest cost. It shouldn’t be run as a jobs program for the unions. If you want to see how the story is likely to end, look at Airbus.

It looks like this sailed through the democrat controlled Congress.

As I recall, Reagan “pandered” to unions too by promoting buying American. On the other hand I suspect Hunter would have treated the Airlines the same way Reagan did as well.

Seriously I really have to wonder about the loyalties of people who are so desperate to keep us at the mercy of foreign countries.

Thanks for the ping. I guess this means that Duncan Hunter isn’t a Fleecetrade Republican.

Just be sure to ditch all of the 3” guns (Italian design, made by BAE in America, but since they employee British executives, pull the weapons), and the 57mm (Swedish design, BAE made) as well.

Where did Hunter say that we can’t buy products from our allies? Right, he never did.
