Wrong. Bell is located in Texas, Boeing is located in Pennsylvania.
The Marines have been basically told that they are stuck with it.
Wrong. The Corps has been the only consistent proponent of the Osprey when everyone else has, at times, bailed out. When all the chicken littles of the world have told the Marine Corps that the Osprey won't work, the Corps has continued to thumb their nose at them. Just like when the Army, et al told us in the early days of the Korean War that helicopters couldn't be used in combat. We proved the idiots wrong then and we'll prove them wrong again.
This thing has sucked the USMC dry of all R&D funds that could be better spent on other things the Corps really needs.
Wrong. The Corps has continued to spend R&D money on a number of other weapons systems including but not limited to the F-35B and the AAAV.
Your entire post is a load of ignorant bravo sierra.
