T2 was more educational because it taught us to date mercenaries and other former military types so our sons can grow up to be great anti-robot freedom fighters.
I maintain that while murderous humans (or other pathologically violent organic life, for that matter) exist, so too should murderous robots (or mechanical equivalent et al).

At the very least non organic (how nebulous !), possessed of/by (an) intelligence (or sentience), desires and enacts the gruesome demise of as many humans (for example) as possible, as soon and as often as feasibly possible. Usually by way of some seemingly innocuous misunderstanding of action or code. A fixed grin (or equivalent). A pair of fur lined boots.
You're a fool, Harriet. You canot decide certanity without knowing when reasoning ends. Tsk tsk, such a juvenile arugment. I expected so much more from you, it's sad to see what was once a mighty contender slump down into a pit of rivalry and mere verbal jousting.
To stop some of this nonsense in it's tracks and clarify a few points:
The V-22 is very close to becoming operational. It had some problems during testing...like many aircraft do. It just took a bit longer to work out the kinks than most. It's now a stable platform.
Could it be cancelled? Possibly (the Air Force is currently in the process of reducing its size & budget), but highly unlikely. Not only will it take over some helicopter roles, it is also scheduled to do what a couple of the C-130 variants do currently (which is why the Air Force is planning on acquiring some, as well).
Those of you bashing the Osprey are working off old info.

AFSOF?
It's going to do some of what a couple of the C-130 variants (the MC-130 & HC-130) currently do. It won't replace them, but it will be used in some of their current roles.
