You will NEVER see a MV-22 Osprey substitute for
MARINE ONE or its accompanying screeners.

Having PERSONAL White House experience with
the Detachment, there is ZERO on the drawing board
now or in the future, for this particular type craft
to replace the heavys used by the USMC Executive Flight Detachment, commonly referred to as HMX-1.

The necessary communications gear carried and
other proprietary equipment for Presidential protection
requires this type of equipment.

MV-22 is designed for troop movement particularly
for insertion/extraction in rough and/or dense terrain
.... as time marches on you will see WHY *this*
capability is so necessary for our troops....

It is NOT to fight in open desert terrain. We have matters afoot CLOSER to home to prepare for while there is time, including our new programs of continual training for URBAN GUERILLA WARFARE....

Unfortunately, we may all live long enough to see the Constitution suspended under the provisions in place within the National Security Act.... the way things are shaping up.

THIS one I'd LIKE to be WRONG about; trust me on that.
