Do you think it’s wise to entrust our national security to France? I don’t.
So I should pay even more in taxes knowing I’m supporting Boeing workers? Whats the deal, do they walk on water?
I think it’s OK that Americans are gonna be doing the work in America.
More new jobs are being created in the US because NG got the contract.
That was my concern too. Someone , the other day posted some facts about this. It included jobs in America and the difference between the planes.
The Boeing tanker includes parts manufactured in Japan, United Kingdom, Canada and Italy. The Northrop Grumman tanker includes parts built in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and France.
The NG bid will utilize 230 US companies in 49 states.
No sensitive military technology will be exported to Europe. For the KC-45A program, a commercial A330 jetliner will be assembled by American workers in EADS’s facility in Mobile. The aircraft will then undergo military conversion in an adjacent Northrop Grumman facility. All of the KC-45A’s critical military technology will be added by an American company, Northrop Grumman, in America.
