This is also why nobody ever wants to cut the DoD budget, it's basically the backbone of American manufacturing for everything. All the stuff our company makes for the military needs to be US made, despite us being able to get the same stuff from China for 1/10 the cost.
It's also a kick-your-door-down-and-go-prison offense if you try and skirt this. My company knows that first hand (unintentional, but the DoD doesn't care)
