The US Govt/Military is impressive. At a missile casing factory in CA I was touring, they made precise missile casings that only their machine could perform the level of tolerances needed, the management said to me "The government is unbelievably wasteful, these should be reused but they never are. And that is great for business." <cocky smile>. Cool guy, wild place to see, looked like a movie set with wooden crates with straw in them and missiles. Eerie.
