RESUMO O artigo analisa a importância do ambiente domestico nas discussoes do orcamento de defesa estadunidense por meio do caso do V-22 Osprey. Durante a gestao de George Bush, o Executivo propos o encerramento do programa por quatro anos seguidos, mas o Congresso impediu o corte. A argumentacao se desenvolve a partir da atuacao dos tres vertices do chamado Triângulo de Ferro (militares, congressistas e empresarios). Apesar de ser um programa ineficiente e que apresentou custos muito mais altos do que inicialmente previsto, esse conjunto de atores garantiu a sobrevivencia do Osprey devido a interesses especificos (politicos ou economicos) que possuiam em relacao ao programa. A discussao pretende demonstrar que as visoes que associam as decisoes estrategicas dos EUA somente ao ambiente internacional sao incompletas. O caso do V-22 e paradigmatico, mas nao isolado. A cada ano, diversos programas de armamentos se beneficiam de sua forca politica domestica para se manterem ativos. Desse modo, o artigo contribui para aprofundar o conhecimento sobre como interesses especificos comprometem decisoes estrategicas naquele pais.  ABSTRACT The article analyzes the importance of the domestic environment in the American defense budget discussions through the V-22 Osprey case. During George Bush’s administration, the executive proposed closing the program for four straight years, but Congress prevented the cut. The argument is based on the analysis of the performance of the three vertices of the so-called Iron Triangle (military, congressmen and businessmen). Despite being an inefficient program that had much higher costs than initially anticipated, these actors ensured the Osprey’s survival because of the specific interests (political or economic) they had over the program. The discussion is intended to demonstrate that the views that associate US strategic decisions exclusively with the international environment are incomplete. The case of the V-22 is paradigmatic, but not isolated. Each year, various weapons’ programs benefit from their domestic political strength to remain active. Thus, the article contributes to the understanding of how specific interests compromise strategic decisions in that country.
