Try answering the questions that are posed to you like why didn't that MH-53 that crashed near Sigonella autorotate. You won't because you can't answer the questions posed to you. You've never been able to and you never will be able to. All you can do is post lies and parrot "experts" who have been exposed as frauds and then cry like a little girl to your friendly admin moderator claiming that you're being personally attacked when you get exposed as an illiterate fraud. Yet you find no problem in personally attacking other people. Pot, kettle, black.

Spend some time on the ramp at New River around an HMM or on the flightdeck of an LHA or LHD and listen to the mechs informally referring to the aft rotor on a CH-46 as a tail rotor. I seriously doubt you've ever spent a single day in uniform, despite your claim, let alone anywhere near any type of aircraft.

You apparently don't realize that your constant barrages of off-topic questions simply aren't relevant to the V-22 discussion. What they do accomplish is to make any worthwhile discussion of the merits of the V-22 impossible by obscuring it with irrelevant minutae, then attacking posters for not answering your questions.

I take it back. Maybe you do realize what your barrages accomplish.

In any event, you have your opinion of the V-22 and I have mine. Just don't forget that my opinion is just as irrelevant as yours....

Gentlemen...

Thank you so much for the validation of everything I have to say. If I had not spoken the truth, if I had not hit a nerve, then you would not feel the need to attack me so viciously. I am just a mom...that's all, but you have come after me like pirhana. That's ok though. I am not offended. I am, after all, not just a mom, but the mom of a Marine, and he taught me well what that means, as I am sure you all have done with your moms.

Stop emoting? I'm a mom...I'm supposed to emote.

As for Mr. Schultz...I would say "Better his kid than mine", but it is too late for that. Now, all I can say is "If it's good enough for my kid, it is certainly good enough for his..and for him". Hop aboard mister, and enjoy the ride.

A recruiter who covered all the bases? Goody for you. We were not so fortunate. My son was just a kid, and if the recruiter had told him he was going to be used for an experiment and would not be coming home alive, body parts missing, he would not have gone. Use your head. While you speak so viciously, deep down inside there is a human part of you. Nobody would be that ignorant.

You are lining up just waiting to get on an Osprey? That's great. At least you have the option to make that decision. It lightens my heart to know that, because of you, a unsuspecting Marine's life is saved and their family has been spared the worst kind of pain. Just make sure that each day, you tell your family members how much you love them, because after you are gone, they will be devastated. I don't know anyone who was so glad of the sacrifice made by their loved one that they held a ticker tape parade.

And Smedly...how pathetic that you are so intimidated by a mom that you had to go and round up a few of your pals to come to this site and try to wreak havoc. It just goes to show the mentality of those who work so hard to push something so worthless. Oh..and in case you could not find the info...the lead aircraft landed 420 feet Northwest of the MA, then continued to skid 330 feet. Not only that, but if you had seen the video of the crash, you would know that there was a huge explosion with lots of fire. Nothing sitting that close would have survived. Obviously, that plane did not land there. Maybe you didn't hear me the first time...I got back what was LEFT of my son...because after the resulting fire, his body was destroyed. Stop emoting??? Whoever said that is an idiot. Unless you have walked in my shoes, unless you were out there that night, ready to do whatever you could to save one of these men, then I really don't care what you have to say. I have read, I have spoken to someone close to an investigation regarding the crash, I have asked lots of questions and sadly, had them answered...and I have buried my child. If you can't say the same, then what are you doing here?

Now, I take my leave from this group. I have other things to do that are more important than argue this issue with you all. Thank you again, for the validation. I offer it up to all those guys who died so needlessly.

Bobsat...you are awesome.
