There's an element of truth to what he says. Military confrontation with China looks more possible all the time - how many lives will be lost because the Chinese got their hands on this technology? If not US lives, Taiwanese lives? Or if not Taiwan, someone else.

UGH!!! What are you "ughing" about. Did I speak against your religious right to sacrifice secretive equipement to foriegn powers? During WWI, the Germans developed a timing system to allow a bullet to pass between the propellers of a bi-plane, when the gun was fired. This allowed the pilot to aim the aircraft better, making his attack more effective. The planes that had this ability were not allowed to fly over enemy territory, because the Germans didn't want this technology and idea to fall into foriegn hands. One plane DID fly over enemy territory and crashed. The allies discovered this new technology and soon equiped their plans with such timing. Germany's defense no longer held an edge. Maybe if some stealth bomber with engine trouble, it should land in Beijing, rather than being ditched. Better yet, an F22 Raptor! Chinese say: COD! UGH!! Don't crash! Give it to the Chinese!!!!!!!! They'll put it to good use!! (Against us!)
