U.S. must safeguard military’s industrial base: Panetta

• AFP
Budget cuts must not be allowed to undermine the US military’s industrial base, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday during a visit to a shipyard that builds attack submarines.

Panetta used his stop at the Electric Boat shipyard in Groton, Connecticut to underline the importance of preserving the know-how of the country’s defense industry that he said was jeopardized by potential sweeping cuts in military spending.
