For the longest time I thought I lived in the good old United States of AMERICA. Well, according to some people, I live in Europe and am a part of the French nation.
You see, after EADS/ Northrop-Grumman was awarded the Air Force contract to build the new tanker, there has been an out lash of criticism saying that the tanker is going to be built on foreign soil. For those of you who don't know, the tankers will be built in MOBILE, ALABAMA...and what do you know? That is a part of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA! If you don't believe me check the map below: (which was pulled from Google maps)
See, I live in the United States. We aren't even connected to foreign soil (unlike a certain crybaby company that is just a hop, skip, and a jump from CANADA.) I mean I don't even think that Mobile has even tried secede from the Union since the 1800s. So, would all the dingbats that think this tanker is going to be built on foreign soil, by foreign workers wake up? It is going to be built in MOBILE, AL by AMERICAN WORKERS. It will be creating jobs for AMERICANS.
Okay, rant over. Wait, one more thing...If you support what I'm saying please go to this website and vote that you DO support the decision for the tankers to be built in MOBILE, ALALBAMA, UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
