You can trace alot of this stuff back the Bush (41) when HE and the DoD (Cheney) allowed MASSIVE Defense Industry consolidations it allowed for MASSIVE Defense Corp to exist(Northop-Grumman, Lockheed-Martin and the like).
The problem here is shoddy work...not the size of the contractor.
I agree with raybbr....look for the Union Made label.
allowed MASSIVE Defense Industry consolidations it allowed for MASSIVE Defense Corp to exist(Northop-Grumman, Lockheed-Martin and the like).How does this translate to non-conforming material/weak bolts used on a contract that specified otherwise on prints, drawings, etc?
One case example would help your case (the prosecution should _not_ be giving hints to the defense).
