Interesting article in today's WSJ about Pentagon's supply chain vulnerability featuring the Minden plant blowup. Surprising that BP is the sole initiator for modern explosives in such a wide range of ordnance.

Surprising that BP is the sole initiator for modern explosives in such a wide range of ordnance.

That's been a constant for a very long time,
What's surprising is many don't know that.

I don't, but I believe it will unlock in time, maybe a day or so. WSJ is widely quoted and referenced.
