Who is running our military? We lose service men every week to someone’s boondoggle. The Osprey has taken more American military lives than the Taliban!! ( TRUE!!) . The Navy cant sail a ship without crashing into something!! This is getting farcical.

I don’t think these figures support that claim at all.

42 fatalities

The Osprey increases the area that can be controlled from a central location.

It’s been a while since I heard the exact states, but it seems I recall hearing how it almost doubled the range of control, and required far fewer aircraft to put people on site.

It’s an amazing aircraft IMO.
