"Because we only have ONE American factory that makes steel for our armor, that's why. IF we want more American armor, we need to manufacture more American Steel."

Steel comes in different grades, so even if the soldiers didn't care where it comes from at first, they would care after it failed.

I'm not sure that Humvee armor is steel. I thought it was either ceramic or a lighter metal allow (aluminum/titanium).

This "one steel plant" could be disinformation.
