to persuade congressmen and other politicians to continue support for the Osprey and to make them buy more. thats why they made this ad. u think they did dis for fun?

I thought the had shelved the Osprey Didnt have some design faults that resulted in the deaths of some Marines? Im not really up on US Aircraft tech, but i hadnt heard anything about the Osprey for an age and at the time there were rumbleings that the Marines or your Congress were going to scrap the program.

Nope. No reflection on sales. It is being mass produced, with 360 aircraft going to the USMC, 48 to the USN, and 50 to the USAF. The Osprey is coming, providing a brand new flexability to the US military machine.
The osprey is a piece of # that has crashed three times now in testing...

As far as the ad, who cares? Insensative? Sure, who cares. This is a military aircraft, not some civilian passanger plane - they don't need to be PC. It is built to go to war. We are at war in the middle east against Islamic extremists who often hide in Mosques. Too bad the US doesn't go into Mosques like that more often - we are far too sensative to political feelings then we should be.

I love that ad- saved. New desktop.
Burn the middle east to the ground, nuke it 'till there's nothing but glass left, build a giant store and rename the area WalMartistan.

As for the above ad and current mindset of "Kill'em all and let Allah sort them out",
how far does it go before we start seeing something like this?

If destroying every mosque in the world would save one drop of American blood, I would push the button my self.

Hell, on 9/11 they tried to hit the whitehouse...only they couldn't find it so they picked the easily findable pentagon. So I could care less if we destroy some mosques...as long as we got who we wanted to get.
