Don’t let the 'right to repair' slow innovation

America’s military superiority has never rested solely on the size of its armed forces. It has always depended on something even more important: our ability to out-innovate every potential adversary.

Those investments are risky, expensive, and often take years to pay off. Companies make them because the United States has long protected intellectual property and rewarded innovation.
