Oh, I'm sure they did; just like you and I welcomed the new defense budget that was just passed in the U.S. "Please buy a couple hundred more F-35s, and, oh yeah, don't forget the upgrades on our nuclear arsenal, too. I feel so much more protected now. And I feel so much safer hearing that the munitions used to blow up the bus load of children in Yemen were U.S. made. Thank you for keeping me safe and protected. I'm sure the American government has guaranteed that my house in (fill-in-the-blank) is protected from anyone seeking revenge for American policy overseas."

Yeah that is how it goes. There was that thing with the tanks a few years ago too. The army said that it didn't want any more M1 tanks because it had more than it could ever use before they became completely obsolete. Congress then said "you are getting them anyway" and voted to build several thousand more. They will, I'm sure, be sold or given to the to the countries that we do business with and be used to kill and oppress a lot of people who probably didn't do anything to deserve it.
