I think it's more of a result of pressure from US DoD to increase production. Safety goes out the window when trying to meet absurd quotas.

A slower factory makes more munitions than one that exploded or burned down.
The US is more cooked than previously thought
I just hope they're going to do this shutdown thing for a few months but i guess one can dream. Just imagine a bunch of heavily armed soldiers and their families unpaid, hungry and increasingly desperate, what could they do.
At this point, are we even sure Trump's goal ISN'T to trigger a civil war and/or collapse of the country?
"Among active duty military households, this number is significantly higher, with 68 percent living paycheck-to-paycheck at least every other month and a majority (54 percent) doing so every month." That study was conducted back in 2020, and I can confirm first hand how much that sucked ass lol.
[Edit] Of course, since 2020- things have gotten worse for the average American, which is even why recruitment has fallen across all the branches beyond the USMC.
Not to worry, the Pentagon's gonna move 8 billion from R&D for food:
"The Pentagon is tapping into its research and development accounts to use funding Congress made available for two years, according to an OMB official. Specifically, about $8 billion is being shifted from accounts that fund military research, development, testing and evaluation efforts, according to two people familiar with the plan who were granted anonymity to discuss its details."

It's hard to imagine that while we've been discussing the funding issues facing the nuclear arsenal upgrades, F-47 and FA-XX before, and now the Pentagon needs to diverting R&D funds for food. How could this even happen?
