how can we sell our products over seas if our own gov't doesn't even have faith in our products.

IMO from a national security standpoint, it would seem safer to have the production of our equipment here.

True Nuke, but it should not be a problem for the US airforce to get spare parts from the US based manufacturer of this chopper,and even if it was buildt in another country i would think they could afford to buy afew spares.

I do see your point if it was spare parts for something very important like the presidents "football".
