Yes. As far as I am concerned, there should never be any foreign bidding on contracts to fill our military needs.
If we cannot make a given component, we should find ways to remedy that.
Am I being protectionist? Yes. When it comes to the Military. I understand we should have the best for our military personnel, but I believe we can find ways to do that without having to give our adversaries unfettered access to our technology.
Just my opinion.
Doen't matter they just come here and build or buy a plant, and make them locally.
I believe this was done with our Aegis system.
