If you could add to your tagline: ... and they’ll sell out our military capabilities to any foreign government.

>>If you could add to your tagline: ... and they’ll sell out our military capabilities to any foreign government.<<

I don’t like McCain at all, but in this case, as I understand it, he wanted to open the bidding to Airbus, but the Air Force made the decision. If it turns out that McCain twisted arms to get the contract for Airbus, he could be in trouble. Boeing and Airbus both claim that their aircraft are cheaper and better. The dilemma is: How to ensure that our military buys from US producers without allowing some companies to overcharge the taxpayers?

Meanwhile, our industrial base capable of supplying the military continues to decline, as the Air Force admits, and I don’t think that is good.
