When Armco (AK Steel) built their new plant in Middletown, Ohio in the mid '60s, it was to replace a plant still running the equipment installed in the late 1800s. The new plant was the first computer controlled hot strip in the US, built at a cost of 1.2 Billion in '60s dollars. It routinely produced well above the output the engineers claimed, and ran years longer between relining of the individual soaking pits where the pig iron was heated, to prepare it to be rolled into sheets. Other old industrial equipment is routinely shipped overseas because it is know to work reliably, and it is easy to find or fabricate parts. There was a huge machine shop in Monroe, ohio that made replacement parts for the corrugated box industry, and shipped them worldwide. They had the information on almost any machine ever built for that industry, so all they needed to know was the model, and which part. Heavy industry is one place where smaller, lighter and cheaper just don't cut it. A Japanese company wanted to buy that 1800s steel making equipment but it was scrapped, and reprocessed. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it.

Are you asserting here that the Saudi royal family are not widely considered a government which is obedient to the US?
