The MINERALS that Make US Military Mighty

A “critical mineral” is a mineral identified to be a non-fuel mineral or mineral material essential to the economic and national security of the United States, the supply chain of which is vulnerable to disruption, and that serves an essential function in the manufacturing of a product, the absence of which would have significant consequences for the economy or national security.

Without these the US military would have a hard time against an enemy with STICKS AND STONES.
