Commercial Applications Pentagon officials say they want not only a smaller, healthy military industry, but one that is more flexible.

But this is a very healthy industry, and it will remain so.

I think this will be a much healthier industry in the long run.

One strategy, analysts say, is to go with companies in particularly healthy industries, like pharmaceuticals and engineering.

In fact, it charted the change from a struggling, marginalised group of determined individuals to a strong and healthy industry.

"If we want a healthy industry, we have to see more profits."

The other half was that healthy, profitable and viable industries should maintain jobs'.

In a sense, therefore, the spinoffs are now going the other way: A healthy commercial industry is considered necessary for the military.

That is why I think that retaining the levy would damage our healthy industries.

The tax represents fiscal suicide for a healthy industry.
