They look like airplanes, but their propellers turn up like a helicopter.  Its a vital piece of equipment for the national defense. 

They really serve a purpose--they get lots of votes for the senators and congressmen in the district they are made in. 

As I watched these  beautiful, totally un-necessary pieces of hardware soar over head, my thought was, Jesus Christ, what a fucking total waste of the taxpayers money.

Well you haven't seen what is going to replace them.  They are even bigger .

Osprey are pretty fucking cool in my own opinion. Not nearly as wasteful spending as the F-22 /F-35. Stealth technology is pretty much a joke. Within a few decades at most it's going to be useless. And that's just with the advances in radar. Not to mention the central computer that doesn't work and can be hacked.

Then there are those stealth destroyers .....

I think the DOD needs to be cut by 20%. (All federal institutions for that matter). The price tag and some backroom deals are just criminal. Politicians should not be invoked in making weapon systems.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Beware the military industrial complex.  For all the fool liberals, it was a republican who said it.

I saw a stealth bomber flying overhead once. It sounded so unusual I got out the binoculars to look. No exactly stealthy.

The last republican . Now it's just the republicrats who spend decades in office .

I just like the osprey as a sorta war nerd.  Just like how I love the A-10. With all this Isis shit it made the USA say oh fuck we don't have CAS better keep these old birds around.

The A10 is a different animal.  It does exactly do what it is supposed to do.  I've heard the fucking Afghans fear the A10 more than anything that flies.

The US had a lot of good equipment that didnt age, but congressmen and senators need to keep the gravy train rolling.  Like the B52.  That is actually a stealthy plane.  At 300 feet off the deck, equipped with state of the art electronics, and armed with cruise missiles with hydrogen bombs, one or two B-52s are stealthy enough to smoke most fucking countries on the planet.

But that's way too cheap of a solution.

Bbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttt.


Isis and before that first gulf war . The highway of death. It's an incredible aircraft.

The osprey  does have its place in war. Could it have been easier and cheaper to just use existing helo platforms (forget the name of some of our NATO allies heavy lift helicopters) They just don't have the speed or range that the osprey has. I also recall the max ceiling height is much greater.

The program should have been axed 25 years ago. I think the concept is cool as hell but they are a huge waste of money. It's not like the USA has a power projection problem.
