Because the government isn't willing to disrupt the "normal" supply chain.
Because if somebody isn't making a lot of money off the whole thing, it isn't worth doing.
tl;dr: taxpayers are paying for our military to acquire for, and give to, private companies the things people need to stay alive, and the private companies get to make as much money as possible off the deal.
But I'm sure any Democrat would do that same, Trump is now taking this seriously and doing a good job and is obv a complex man, etc.
