You realize of course that you have jinxed us by saying that. LOL. As soon as we start to belive that, sure as shooting, it will happen.

But look at the war in afgan. we needed the carriers, the bombs, the vehicles, the artillery, etc etc etc. All of those things come from steel. They need to be replaced or repaired or maintained.

When Iraq (or any other country without a war manufacturing capability)loses a tank or uses a bomb it's gone forever unless they can BUY it (replacements) from someone else. We don't buy from anyone, we make the product.We lose a tank, use a bomb, General Mills is on the phone to the kitchen and asks the chef to bake another cake. Two hours later, dinner is served.
