Do you think the citizens of countries such as Japan, Canada, and Turkey should be offended that their governments are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to 'foreign' companies in the U.S. for (e.g.) the F-35 fighter?

Lots of companies from around the world can build bridges at a very competent level while remaining near budget.

Quick, name the current generation alternatives to the F35 and the country behind said alternative.

Responding to this from the parent comment (highlight is mine):

> Moreover, the fact that so many tax dollars were paid to a foreign company is offensive. Even if that company was at all competent, it shows a disregard for the American economy.

Competence is explicitly not the OP's point.

Let's stay on topic, shall we?
Check the comment he responded to, it was definitely on topic
