[RP TownTalk] how do you feel about raytheon?

Catarina,
 
I think your problem should be with the current administration's foreign  
policy. 
 
If we weren't at war. Raytheon would be a "DEFENCE" contractor only,  
defending our democracy, and freedoms. 
 
I totally agree with you that the way the weapons are being used right now  
is wrong, wrong, wrong. We are the aggressors and that should not be.  
Destruction and devastation is in our wake where ever our policy goes,  lately. 
 
But to actually "defend" this nation and it's soldiers, is what those  
weapons are intended to be. They are currently misused, just as our troops are.  
Terribly misused and misguided. Do you shun our troops for the destruction? Are  
they to blame? They are good boys(and girls), following orders, and trying to  
save there lives, as well as others. They don't make the big decisions. And 
it's  the big decisions that is the problem, and has been all along.
 
If the answer is, "No, I don't shun the troops", then how can you  blame the 
company that supplies them with the arms they need to protect  themselves?
 
Raytheon can not be held responsible for how they are being used. George  
Bush, is responsible, for that. He is the Commander in Chief. 
 
Do we blame alcoholism on Budwieser, or the guy that drinks a case of it a  
day?
 
Food for thought,
Jay Wright
