Since World War II, the United States has been known as the “arsenal of Democracy.” We earned that title by providing the bulk of the weapons used by our allies, in some cases before they were actually our allies. From Lend-Lease through the end of the war, it was American factories and technology that won the war and made the postwar peace secure.

In the decades since, the U.S has remained unchallenged when it comes to weapon systems. No country can fly against our Air Force or sail against our Navy.
