the army looks at cap set three as more of a replacement for h60. h60 was kind of comparable to h46. osprey is larger than both of those aircraft and carries more people. fvl cap set three we look at it as a yankee replacement and it carries less people than the h60. this is where the trade space discussion comes in. if it carries 11 or 12 people and does the other things that the marine corps wants it to do, that is great. that is fine. we view that as a bonus. now like the osprey replacing the h46, well that is a larger pay load. that is more troops. that is not an exact one to one, apples to apples replace. but that is fine. we would welcome that. if we were able to accomplish everything that we wanted to and have added capability to boot. that is great. eight is a threshold requirement because that is a lift capability that is no less than what we have now. with the added range and speed that we want. if we can get more of everything, that would be tremendous and we welcome that. so we present that challenge to the industry. i hope that answers

the french, supposed to have the best army in the world, were invited to train the japanese army. but when they saw the french defeated by the germans in the franco-prussian war, the japanese switched to german advisors for their army. ♪ narrator: from the english and the americans, they borrowed the outward forms of democracy, ministers and their representative body that died. but this was all a cruel joke. when the army and catered it -- navy cabinet ministers, still above the feudal barons, are above any law-making body. they have direct access to the emperor and can entirely bypass the civil government. in fact, whatever japan took from the west or the chinese, the warlords never took the moral or ethical principles that went with them. all modern knowledge that has come to the japanese people, all culture, all ideas, all thinking has been filtered through from -- to the people from the top down. any new idea is first tried out by the ruling classes, changed to suit their purpose. then, with the emperor's blessing, handed down to the people as divine law. in our western civi

wing indirect support of each army. the british are so effective with their initial push that the army says the enemy aircraft ofe troops a feeling helplessness, such was their mastery of air. one of the things the germans realize is that they, too, need to have some kind of autonomy with regard to the aviation asset. in october, germans will finally establish an german air force. not completely independent as we know it today, but what you see is a change in the relationship between the ground forces and the aviation assets themselves. aviators on staff are no longer just advisors. they become commanders. they are not necessarily wedded to the ground fight. it also answers to the german high command. they are starting to become their own entity during this time. in independent unit with high-performance aircraft to clear the skies of enemy and he will get the best german aircraft coming off the production line at this time and put in some of the best .ilot the new albatross the germans come out with, which you see the
