I think this is a sad day in our history to have our national security given to a foreign country. Our respect for our heads of government is at an all-time low when they sell us out rather than support Americans in our great United States of America.
What happened to proud to be made in America? You have to realize how many countries are laughing at all our politicians for allowing this to happen and jeopardizing our national security.
I cannot believe you would think any other country would allow another country to build part of their national security if they had the capability to do it themselves? Who built Air Force One? Boeing has the finest work force and capability to build the tankers in the United States of America.
I have always been proud to be an American but this is a sad day in America if you let this travesty jeopardize our security. I know you have the power to stop this sale and I, as an American, expect it to happen.
