I totally get it.  I don't subscribe to the "getting hacked, and oh, by the way, you get free cyber security for a year".  I do think we are falling behind in our cyber security.  

I still care to some extent about my profession.  Transfer of critical defense and defense/commercial parts and knowledge is being watered down, in the face of companies making money.  Now that DoD is out of the loop on Committee for Foreign Investment in the U.S. and it is strictly a Commerce deal, it scares me to think what might be allowed for the sake of dollars.  It may be great for the seller, but Americans will pay the price when our electrical grids are being controlled by foreign entities.  

I had a bad feeling years ago when we started letting countries take their production off shore.  Now it is just assumed that any sale, will include the right to manufacture in a foreign country.  Protests aside, companies look for the quick dollar, not the long term consequences.
