Dangers ahead in Air Force procurement
Globalization has compelled the Pentagon to rely on foreign manufacturers for key elements of the nation’s defense needs. While that is not necessarily a bad thing, it becomes a problem when the US finds that the governments of France and Russia own big chunks of the company, EADS, that does the supplying – a company that is busily building a grassroots political influence operation to pressure Congress to buy its products.
In addition to transferring taxpayer dollars into the French and Russian treasuries, procurement through a particular European supplier would bail out an aircraft company that got its start through French espionage and bribery, and would pay workers of radical and politically active labor unions that hate the United States.
