You miss the point. They ARE produced in the US. The gun is German designed, but is made on license in the US. The Armor was developed by the British, but is made (and modified) in the US.
Is the M1A1 the best tank in the world? I would say yes ... Is it "Made in the US of A"? Absolutely ... Is it made of US technology? No, most of it was developed outside the US, but you did a good job in putting it all together. Get it?
All the other weapons I mentioned are also made in the US ... on license.
That's nothing new. We've been doing it for years. Just look at what the Packard company did with the license-built Merlin engines that went into the D model P-51. We actually made it so that the engine parts were interchangable!
