Don't forget WWII my friend,

America wanted the DeBeers to maintain a diamond stockpile within the continental US of A to use for the machining requirements of the war effort, and they politely declined.

They wanted no stockpiles outside of S.A.

Thank goodness we now have Canadian diamond mines too.

Can these diamonds be used to make armor for tanks and apc's? Similar to ceramic armor used now? How about for weapons?
