Joe, in case you haven't figured it out, US defense contractors routinely
give our enemies technologies so they can stay in business building even
better technologies. If the US was truly superior to its enemies (which it
could be) the defense industry would go out of business. Why do you think we
have wars so often?

As far as training the Japs to make transistors, they are the ones who never
needed training. Never has US semiconductor capabilities matched the
Japanese.

What about parts from other countries not as a last resort but because they
are simply the best? There is no second choice to the best.

Wasn't it Heinlein that said there's nothing so expensive as a second
best military?
