This past weekend was the 2nd annual Northeast Indiana Defense Summit, and Indiana Congressman Jim Banks says events like these are critical to growing Indiana’s defense industry.
Banks says representatives from many defense companies here in Indiana gathered to exchange ideas on how they can help bolster the country’s defenses against threats from China, Russia, and North Korea.
Banks said innovation is needed in order to compete with sophisticated technology being developed by China, and he says the state needs to keep pushing companies to move that innovation to Indiana.

What good are defense companies when the leaders of the defense department are more concerned with gender, pronouns, and promoting men pretending to be women. It won’t matter how great the defense industry products are when sill and insane people re trying to use the equipment. It is just all wasted money. We’ve already lost the next battle in the next war. BTW, diversity is not an advantage in defense. It is a fatal flaw. The least diverse enemies of our last big war win were also the most dangerous ever fought, Japan and Germany. You only have to ask the Marines, soldiers and Air Men who fought in the Pacific to understand this. To pursue diversity for diversities sake is fool hardy and an epic fail.
