On a related note, who won the contract for the new Presidential helicopter?
I don't remember the name, but it was some European company.
But look on the bright side.
If we ever find ourselves at war with Europe or China -- it will be almost bloodless and over quickly.
They'll simply stop shipping us the electronics and other equipment our military uses and it will all over in weeks.
See, every cloud has a silver lining. :/

Well, Cats, I'm glad to have been wrong on this.
Lockheed Martin is definately American. Yet the helo, as mentioned above is built by a British-Italian helicopter consortium, Agusta-Westland, with some American components.
Oh, well, I guess I'm behind the times. Can't see us at war with England or Italy any time soon.
I keep thinking, however of all those electronic components the military uses that come from Japan, China, Malaysia, etc.
