Fair enough although, as I have pointed out, I disagree on a large number of counts.Viv S wrote: I guess it was emotional and do apologize to those who's happiness was affected (incl. those who's taxes paid for the purchase). My argument - 'should have waited for and ordered an Indian aircraft instead', however remains unchanged.
Remember that "your generation" who you say are now being recruited by th Air Force are now into iPads, McD, TGIF, Dunkin Donuts, Kispy Kreme, Levis, Victoria's secret, Audi and other imported things and the argument that the IAF using a non Indian aircraft would not set a good example sounds hollow to me. Be that as it may. You and I have our views - it does not make sense to hit out and be critical of someone who might potentially disagree with you by making the needless comment"Worst part is that people are actually happy about this new development." You are deliberately pooping on someone else's happiness because you seem to want your point to stand out as the only opinion there should be. And 3 pages of argument simply because people have a different viewpoint? Not nice. Not nice for the forum. Not nice for the people who come for information.
From this point on there will be no more posts from me on this issue
