Maybe in the beginning.
It's not unusual for new technology in this country to get government subsidies. In fact, it's typically how things work. But to disparage the goals and objectives an entire industry because some corruption has surfaced in one deal is just silly. You're trying to conflate two different issues.
By the way, do you know how fast the Pentagon goes through $500 million?
