  What they make (and have admitted in court to making) are essential weapons release and electronic interface systems for most of the US, UK and NATO warplanes, not to mention being the sole rights holder for the Israeli Air Force F-16s bomb rack and arming units, and they also helped design (and they own the rights to) weapons systems used on the CIA Predator Drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan widely regarded as extra judicial assassination and therefore illegal under international law. On top of that they invented a new bomb rack connector system called the FRCS that is included within the next generation F-35 warplane also to be supplied to Israel, and most likely to be used in any attack on Iran . The FRCS has already been used in numerous bombing raids by NATO in Afghanistan leading to the deaths of scores of civilians. Any other questions ? please ask.

  OK let's get rid of ALL the manufacturing we do in this country just because you don't agree with it....yeh, that's a great idea isn't it.
  
  NOT.
  
  The thing with business like this is that they will take their factories and knowledge to another country and continue to do the same thing.
  
  You won't stop it, you will displace it and to be honest, I'd rather we actually have a semblence of a manufacturing industry still in this country.
  
  We have become a service country, we do not produce & export enough of our own goods to stand on our own two feet when the sh*t hits the fan economically......bu
  
  t that's OK because at least we're not manufacturing weapons components. HAH

  Why should our job security in one of the richest countries in the world be more important that their lives in some of the poorest.
  
  Your obsession with your own current financial well-being at the expense of others entire lives is morally corrupt."
