What I am on record as saying is that the primary focus is getting the right aircraft. Once you've done that then certainly jobs are important and certainly the cost is important. There are other things. But the paramount in buying anything military has to be is this the best thing for our men and women in the military who are giving their lives? That's it. Anything else is secondary to that clear priority.
