No, I agree with you totally. My father was in the defense industry re: development and design for decades. What you are saying is true.
We can't even put out enough armor for our vehicles right now - what will happen if we ever go to war with China?

Things are much more critical in many areas then most Americans realize. Of course why worry the poor folks
in front of their boob tubes on such trivial matters. Most
not having a clue will only grip if you told them we no longer can make new generation tanks because we lack the proper type grade of steel to armor plate it. But perhaps as some have indicated this will not come to past, if the smaller highly efficient micro mills can come through.
Of course I for one realize I don't have the whole story.
Surely all the current high carbon steel armor is coming from somewhere. Perhaps it is all coming from these US mills.
