They have a military industry. It's one reason of their budget spending. For example I've read somewhere that the F-2 Mitsubishi is a sort of F-16, that it's very expensive but it isn't comparable to many modern fighters and that it is maintained to keep employment up. ------------- Vae victis! |

Leaky subs  France spends more than the UK, so the first map has to be wrong. Japan spends 1% of its GDP on the military, thats 1% of the world's second largest economy, not exactly lose change. -------------  Arrrgh!!"
