If Baby Trump wants to make more big military things and ships why not invest in natural disaster response equipment the whole fire department and make modular frames that can be multipurposed... We really need more climate protection.
See, you already fucked up with having climate in your post.
A for effort
C for execution
"Bro we need just one more Abrams I promise" -> Not something US generals say as far I know.
Who you gonna sell tanks and ships to when no one trusts you to shut it off if you've filled your diaper?

…so please shut up about it and be happy subsidizing the tanks by paying the tariffs on shirts and sneakers. You pay, we play. Be happy about this.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Does the US import military hardware? I thought it was one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world.
I do know it doesn’t produce as much steel as other countries these days.
Western MIC is a collaborative effort, though the US has enough sway to either demand that American companies get the licenses to make foreign weapons, or for foreign companies to open factories (if not whole subsidiary companies) in the US. More for strategic reasons than economic ones.
The main gun on the Abrams tank is a German Rheinmetall design. The AT4 rocket we use is Swedish. We buy a lot of H&K (Germany) and FN (Belgium) small arms, in fact the latter is the main supplier of the M4 these days.
