Gasp! French Chopper Supplies Navy Warships (Updated)

"The U.S. Air Force wants to buy $35-billion worth of aerial tankers based on a French design, and partially manufactured overseas. Seattle Chicago-based tanker-maker Boeing has protested the decision. Boeing’s political allies say we can’t trust Europeans to make weapons for us. Never mind that entire classes of U.S. weapons are already made in Europe. The excellent Destroyermen blog reminds us of this fact with a photo of a French-made Puma chopper, belonging to U.S. Military Sealift Command, resupplying the USS Russell destroyer."
