I didn't get past the beginning. I don't see how Boeing would be at fault for how someone used their helicopter.

Do you think they don't know what they are going to be used for? Is it right that they should be profiting off forced taxation that is used to commit war crimes?

Boeing, Lockheed/Martin, General Dynamics, General Electric and all the rest of the defense contractors are recipients of the largest welfare program in human history. They make fortunes off death while the middle class deteriorates.

They think they are making it for the US military to protect the United States. No, I don't think they go "can't wait to see these used on unarmed civilians and AP journalists".

I'll note that the footage of what happened wasn't released prompty or officially. This concealment was the choice of someone in the military or above - likely those working for the former President. The public didn't learn until very recently, how are Boeing employees headquartered in Washington State either going to know or be in control of what occurred?
Answer is the easiest explanation - they aren't in control of how they got used.

Because if I make something I'm responsible for how anyone and everyone ever uses it?

This gives the impression that the government and military is not to blame, but rather Boeing. I think that is a bit of a distraction considering the government ordered the helicoptors and requested the design specs, and was responsible for every move along the way. It seems a little like something these pro-government, anti-business types would think was reasonable, blame boeing for the actions of the government, when in reality if the government were not in existence boeing would probably still be out there making helicopters or flying cars or something, but benefitting humanity and not contributing to its destruction.

Reminds me of the The New American Century documentary, and the Iraq footage it included. Disgusting.
