Oh dear god why

Nope. Neither assembled nor built in Chattanooga, TN.

No, sir, I drive a Mk. 5 GTI!

"Remember, when you purchase a Mitsubishi Outlander, you're supporting the same bastards who built the A6M Zero. Do you want that on your conscience?"

My Volkswagen was made by good, honest Americans in Chattanooga!

Begins? It never truly ends.

Pops should have destroyed that engine ten years ago.

I told them that picture would come back to haunt them.

But that's the thing: the 'kick out' happened back in the early 90s - essentially almost two decades ago. The government in charge back then is not the government in charge now.

There's no point bemoaning the $7b price tag: the ink on the contracts have long since dried: that's how contracting works on large scale acquisition projects like this. Budgets for big ticket items like ships are looked over and approved years…

Weren't they supposed to mount Naval Railgun on this thing until they couldn't make it sufficiently awesome.
