How many billions wasted on this piece of shit?

Twenty freaking billion just in development...and it constantly crashes:
An Air Force CV-22 Osprey crashed Wednesday during a routine training mission north of Navarre, Florida, injuring five crew members aboard, a military official said.

What do you mean, "wasted"? The contractors made a lot of money and the project managers got promoted, right? Don't you want American to be strong and free?

Maybe 5 years ago, an Osprey crashed in Arizona. The crash investigation revealed that the Major in charge was a complete fuckup but I don't think he was punished.

I believe that crashing is a feature and not a flaw in these gizmos.

It has always crashed. It will always crash.

I'm pushing 40 and the Osprey has been crashing my entire adult life. They put a fake one in The Avengers though so hope springs eternal!
