That would be one of our top exports....Weapons!
Should we be proud of that?
Dunno, you rather have our allies fight with French, German, Russian, or Chinese weapons? They pick ours because they integrate well with us in joint operations, and regardless of that, they are (generally, on the whole, especially for the more sophisticated types) the best there are. Hmmm, yeah, I say we should be dang proud of that!
Well, I would agree with you that US made weapons are probably higher quality. What I'm saying though, is that maybe we should be more proud of exporting like a higher quality car, or farming equipment (just examples).
Do you know that some of our defense components are MADE IN CHINA?? I know our manufacturing base in this country used to be much stronger than it is today.
