U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) introduced the Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025, legislation that would require contractors to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with access to technical data and materials the military needs to repair and maintain its own equipment.

So the military has been bound by the same handcuffs that McDonalds is with it's ice cream machines?

It was messed up that McDonalds agreed to that. It's TERRIFYING that the group in charge of our military ever did.

The US military is not for national defense, it's a pay pig for a handful of corporations.

idk why this is downvoted. literally all the US military does is make money for contractors, hopefully by cracking brown children's skulls, but that's just a bonus for them.
