Your "short version" omitted all the important information to show why Bourque Industries will not be affected by planned budget cuts for the military, and may even benefit.
I'll summarize my post, as follows:
A reduction in troop numbers will result in a surplus of body armor and vehicles.
Having extra in a non-military environment means a purchase of replacements does not happen.
Not so in a military environment if a multiplier is introduced, like new materials that can withstands greater wear & tear, and hold up to larger force trauma.
Bourque Industries alloys are multipliers, giving troops and equipment greater abilities to function and stay in the fight.
Rather than keep the same body armor issued to the troops, and re-issue surplus for replacements, keeping fighting men and women extra protected is critical when there are less of them, meaning that new issues of superior body armor is required.
Rather than adding armor plates to existing land vehicles, a new design with our armor engineered in will improve efficiency and survivability of both personnal and the vehicle.
While some high ticket items will be cancelled for the military, its expected that large land, sea and aircraft development and manufacture will continue and use the latest and greatest material for higher performance rather than a continued cost saving using inferior material.
So for Bourque Industries, reduction in the size of the military brings about a requirement that troops and equipment obtain the means for an increase in ability for sustainability.
