Is America’s defense about us or is it just a jobs program?

I’ve made my peace. It is about our defense. The recent decision to award the jet refueling contract to a combination that includes French made airplanes, albeit modified in the USA in Alabama and elsewhere, is just such a decision.

The friction is as thick as it can be. While the USA Boeing alternative is weaker, it seems, the decision is going to be reviewed.

So how is it going to be? Give us Americans an advantage, or give us jobs? Both are important. Keep all this in mind when your kids want to join the military to be themselves. In the meantime, our elected politicians will decide about our jobs and our kids that join the military.
