As above, you cannot be blasting the MIC (military-industrial complex) if you need missiles.
You have to learn to love Raytheon.

Anything else is incoherent.

As for FMS (foreign military sales), that’s how you get some other people shooting at your enemies, plus supporting your production capacity. The history is interesting. FMS in the late 1930’s primed US industry (particularly in aircraft production) to meet US needs. US military orders at the time would not have done this.
