I, as a survivor of a CV22 crash in 2010, am deeply concerned about the safety and effectiveness of the MV/CV 22 Osprey program. These aircraft have proven to be nothing more than death traps for our servicemen and women. It is time to decommission the MV/CV 22 Osprey program and any similar programs that put our military personnel at unnecessary risk.
 It is my duty now to advocate for change, so no one else has to go through what I did.

Despite claims made by proponents of the Osprey program, there are numerous reasons why these aircraft should be decommissioned immediately:

1. Safety Concerns: The Osprey has had a troubled history marred by crashes resulting in fatalities and injuries. According to reports from reputable sources such as The New York Times and Defense News, there have been multiple incidents involving mechanical failures, pilot errors, and other issues leading to accidents.

2. High Cost: The development and maintenance costs associated with the Osprey program are exorbitant. Taxpayers' money should be allocated towards safer alternatives or improving existing aircraft rather than investing in an unreliable platform.

3. Limited Capabilities: While proponents argue that the Ospreys provide unique capabilities such as vertical takeoff/landing (VTOL) capabilities combined with fixed-wing range, it is important to note that other existing aircraft can fulfill similar roles without compromising safety or draining resources.

4. Alternatives Available: There are already proven alternatives available within our military arsenal that can perform similar missions without jeopardizing the lives of our servicemen and women. By redirecting resources towards these alternatives, we can ensure the safety and well-being of our military personnel.

It is crucial to prioritize the lives and safety of our brave servicemen and women over any potential benefits that may be claimed by proponents of the Osprey program. Our military deserves better, more reliable aircraft that do not put their lives at unnecessary risk.

I urge you to sign this petition to demand an end to the MV/CV 22 Osprey program and any similar programs. Together, we can make a difference in ensuring a safer future for those who serve our nation.
