Comment on Pentagon woos Silicon Valley to join ranks of arms makers

Comments

The U.S. DoD needs to have more in-house capacity to produce weapons, equipment, and ammunition - as it did, very successfully, from ~1780 to ~1980. Outsourcing to a few far-too-consolidated and far-too-greedy defense contractors (and their well-paid-off friends in Congress) is just plain idiotic.

I just watched this the other day, and it was very eye-opening. They came to the same conclusion.

I thought the same thing

US DoD already makes its own ammo
