Yes, military hardware, (value added products), are some of the few things USA manufactures any longer. Military production backs the greenback.
Also the defense industry has spread itself into every congressional district in the USA, in some districts, these jobs are the ONLY good paying jobs, guaranteeing congressional support for defense spending.

Ha Ha ! ... defense !
