        I would celebrate US workers manufacturing solar panels or developing new vaccines or caring for the elderly, not building weapons.

        I'm not sure that producing more lethal weapon sales is to ever be something that is "celebrated."

        Should we also be proud that those weapons are being used to kill people in other counties.

        Manufacturing weapons to sustain an economy is a recipe for disaster and praising it is irresponsible
