Concur with your assessment. The Obama moles are still in key positions. The swamp drainage must continue.

As far as the Osprey goes .... I realize it has had many problems/crashes, but I suspect it is a lack of training. Not that they don’t “train”, but this is a difficult plane to fly/land.

REQUIRE intensive / extensive training for pilots of these aircraft.

I’m sure it can be done. We land AT NIGHT on the pitching decks of aircraft carriers.

We flew SR-71 Blackbirds at supersonic speeds, at ridiculous altitudes, where a second pilot was required because the guy actually flying the plane needed 100% concentration, 100% of the time, just on the flight controls.

We had airline pilots land a Boeing 767 and an Airbus A330 after running out of fuel at 41,000 feet and 34,500 feet respectively. They both landed their planes/gliders without most instruments or controls and without loss of life or aircraft.

Not to forget Sully Sullenberger’s miracle on the Hudson. Who had the opposite problem of no altitude.

So I can’t believe our guys can’t learn to fly the MV-22 Osprey without crashing it. They just need more practice flying them.
