[@robertavila3076]

I think this is a good idea since other countries make certain parts for certain thing for our military already so if you kinda think about it. They already know what type of weapons and tech that the military have and so that alone makes it easy for them to understand where the weak and strong point are in our military and so with that, I believe the USA making there own tech would keep other countries guessing instead them already knowing and already have an idea on to go about thing since they know where our weak points are.
