If your actions by selling the f-16 planes to not only our friends but our enemies causes us death and destruction then it would be better if your plant never existed.

Thank you. If the above is the case, then I would not sell my F-16's to the U.A.E., shut the line down, tell my workers to take a hike, and pray to the Lord Almighty that the F-16's I already have will never need to be quickly replaced.

Then I would get lambasted on Free Republic for not having any concern for my manufacturing workers, my manufacturing base, and the security of my nation.

We might as well hand our keys over to the ChiComs.

It is our tax dollars that are paying for you to have the plant in the first place and to be able to hire the workers and pay their wages and benefits. It is because the F-16 protects us that we as a nation agree to pay for your plant. If you take that trust and abuse it to satisfy your own greed than as I said before it would be better if your plant never existed. we could have instead invested with a person that understood the concept of national defense, and protection of the nation's citizens and a person who would have put aside his own greed for the benefit of that nation. There is a very clear line between selfishness and individualism.

Too late, already been done starting with Nixon and Henry Kissinger, on to the Clintons and the Bush family. And let's not forget Jimmy Carter's contribution, the Panama Canal.
