America's Missile Stockpile Runs Thin While Lockheed Plays Catch-Up
A report says a war with Iran is draining the US arsenal, and Lockheed is increasing missile production. For critics of the status quo, the message is that years of neglect leave the country short when it counts.
Lockheed is increasing missile production, and the company is involved in missile production. For many voters, that raises the question of why the country's defenses depend so heavily on one contractor's output.
According to The Daily Caller, a war with Iran is draining the US arsenal, a picture critics of the political establishment will see as proof that commitments abroad carry a cost at home.
Even with production ramping up, one line in the reporting stands out: "It's still going to take several years." For readers skeptical of official assurances, that is a long time to wait.
