No wonder that Chinooks crash: they are assembled by a bunch of drug addicts !
Boeing can state whatever it wants that the quality of its products are unquestionable. But if the FBI arrests at least 37 culprits at 1 manufacturing plant, I start to have my doubts.

My god, how many choppers down in the last couple of years?

And this last one was not shot down by the Taliban. It was either a mechanical fault or a pilot error.
