The Pentagon is in the process of strengthening the enforcement of existing rules mandating the government buy only American-made goods.

The Department of Defense is supposed to buy supplies, weapons and garments from American-sourced materials, but that doesn’t always happen.

DoD procurement officers work carefully to buy goods and services from American firms, but those firms sometimes rely on imported raw materials and foreign-made products. The F-35, for example, is made with beryllium imported from Kazakhstan, rather than buying the rare metal from the one U.S. provider.

This would seem to be a no-brainer, for national security reasons.

E-Yup.

The fact that is even a thing worth writing up Ought to scare the Living B-J##zus out of folks with a triple digit IQ.

This would seem to be a no-brainer, for national security reasons.

It seems that forcing taxpayers to purchase from a monopoly isn't very good.
