And I will take all of the risk.

I don't care where they build the part.

I don't care how they build the part.

Just get it back online and let's see what happens.

Because very worst case in this instance, the wheel falls off when you're pulling it somewhere.

Some sparks may fly.

There could be a slightly bad outcome, but this is not a helicopter flying out of the sky.

This is a relatively low risk experiment to do.

But what we haven't done is empowered our soldiers

to go be the brilliant innovators that they are.

And if you look at modern manufacturing and you look at the ability to 3D print metal parts, what we kicked off about a month ago empowers our general in charge of our material command to basically say, OK, I'm going to take on the risk for this.

I'm going to scan it really quickly.

I'm going to get a digital design file.

I'm going to print it.

I'm going to get it out to the field and I'm going to underwrite that risk or

I'm going to ask my commanders down below me who have the deeper understanding of the nuances of the situation to underwrite the risk.

But we're no longer going to accept that we can't repair our own stuff.

And if very worst case, we accidentally violate a clause of a contract, who gives a shit?

I've told everybody we have a thousand lawyers.

We'll fucking see them in court for 50 years.
