As a rule of thumb I'd agree with you, however I'm sure there's some items made offshore and shipped in.
I can understand wanting to be self sufficient with regards to war material, however I'm in complete agreement that using a design from elsewhere doesn't do a lot to reduce this self sufficiency. Politics, corporate lobbying/kickbacks, and nepotism appears to be the driving force behind a lot of spending decisions - at least from an outsiders point of view.
