I thought the cornerstone of Capitalism was a free market. The people who are demanding this contract go to one company in particular (Boeing) , regardless of which company is better, sound like Commies to me.

Wait, let's get this straight. Final assembly doesn't necessary mean that it's an American made tanker. Aren't the major components of A330 which KC45 is based on made in various European companies?
-
The planes would be built in Mobile, Alabama, with american technicians
-
Wow! Why is this so surprising? The American military always has the best possible equipment available to them. Usually, such equipment is manufactured by American companies but sometimes the best is made overseas, so they buy it. It's that simple! Oh, by the way - Airbus isn't French.
-
how stupid are those airforce leaders giving the deal to some kind of fucking french who are going to mess up our millitary,no wonder our economy is doing so bad
-
hahaha the best way to piss americans off is to deny them 40billion dollars and give it to the french hahaha
-
that guy does not care about the 50.000 jobs or the 40billion dollars, it is all about prestige and national pride!
-
americans are sore losers, they have always been
-
I love the freedom in America, so we europeans can buy american manufactures but they can¡t buy us our manufactures...that's hypocresy?
Lou, eat your american flag, you're a nationalistic moron. It was a competition and Boeing lost.
And this "International" machinists union is a chauvinistic joke, not more international than GWB.

Boeing planes are built all over the world not just in the U.S.A. Northrop Grumman won the contract based upon superiority of product! Northrop Grumman won on 4 out of 5 criteria as determined by the Air Force. If the Air Force were to reverse this CONTRACT with Northrop Grumman, it will send a horrible message to the world about the way that America does business. We already have a bad standing in the world, according to politicians, breaching contracts will not help our standing in the world.
