George W Bush, Patriot
The U.S. Army’s decision to award military contracts to overseas manufacturers highlights a disturbing “short-term” ideology and America’s growing dependence on foreign nations.
On June 29, the United States Army announced it would spend $3 billion to purchase up to 352 UH-145 helicopters from Eurocopter, a subsidiary of European aerospace group eads (Agence France Presse, July 4).
With this deal, Eurocopter, after decades of delivering to the U.S. government and commercial operators, has at last broken into the U.S. military market. This represents a “major shift in Pentagon procurement policies” (Los Angeles Times, July 31 )
