I question Boeing's patriotism.

If Boeing really cared about the United States instead of its own pocketbook, they would have lowered the price and won the contract.

Seems patriotism is fine with them as long as it makes their wallet fatter.

Given all that the United States has done for them, in terms of wealth building, giving them loads of tax dollars and protecting their freedoms, I'd say that, if Boeing REALLY believed in being patriotic, they'd be giving tankers away to the US military for free.

I question your lack of a sarcasm tag.

Ouch. Boeing’s profit margin is already only 6.5% as it is.

When they go bankrupt, the whole company’s jobs will be lost.

Last I checked the US was not a part of the USSR.
