Nice Jeb!!!LOL!!

Merely Stating That If The Need Were To Arise To Insert Troops In A Combat Zone...Reported "Hot" Or Not That There Is A Lot To Be Worried About...Of Course Id Rather Ride In On Helo Ass!!! That's A No-Brainer!! Do You Not See The Point I Am Making??

I Realize The Overall Development Of This Aircraft Is To Deploy From Ship Or Short Make Shift Runways...But Why Do You Think The Marines Are Wanting To Employ This Thing. Its To Deploy Troops Into Areas Where Time Is Of The Essence! Can You Honestly Tell Me That This Craft Will Never Put Troops On The Ground In An Area That May Be Considered Hostile??? If So Then I Question Your Thought Process Within The Military.

And Secondly: Since When Did The Idea Behind The Osprey Come To Being Able To Stop On A Dime??? Think Logically Here. What Is Going To Be The Better Option: Land A Bulky Tilt-Rotor Plane Near A Combat Zone Or Land A More Agile CH-46/CH-43 Near A Combat Zone??

What Are You Thinking The Overall Purpose Of This Craft Is Jeb?? Do You honestly Believe The U.S. Gov't Is Just Out To Spend Money??? [sarcasm/on] Surely Not!![sarcasm/off]
