The point about the Osprey is a bad one. I have heard the comment about "Boeing Body Bags" made by a former pilot of Marine One, that is the chopper that the President flies on. In the beginning even those choppers were falling out of the sky, the Osprey is one of the most complicated pieces of equipment to fly, so its development time may not be as quick as all the skeptics want.
