Texas Is Vital To The Military – What Could El Paso Bring

The United States of America has the greatest military in the world and that military relies on Texas more and more.

Texas plays a huge role in space exploration with NASA in Houston and the Blue Origin operations near Van Horn. When it comes to the military though, Texas does a lot more.

On top of all the different military bases Texas is home to ... including Fort Bliss which is the largest training ground in the United States of America ... the lone star state also has a huge hand in equipping our troops.

Texas And The US Military

Texas' interests in the military are varied and all over the map. Most recently, Texas based Darkhive got an almost $50 million dollar contract to build drones for the military while east Texas is becoming a major supplier of lithium to the military for their batteries.

Texas does a lot more for the military and we straight up own the nuclear weapons market. Yep, all ... ALL ... the US nukes have "made in Texas" stamped on them. They could anyway.

What Can El Paso Provide?

We're like Texas' little brother over here - we get left out of everything so, we can't let the rest of the state have all the fun with the military. Here are a few things El Paso could bring to the table:

Nachos. A soldier's gotta eat, right? And, who doesn't love nachos? Personally, I'd go with Spencer's Nachos from Rib Hut.

Boots. We're the freakin' boot capital of the world, I'm sure CABOOTS, (El Paso's bootmaker to the stars), could knock out something cool, yet sturdy and in camo.

Lithium. I don't know about the kind they need for batteries but we have a lot of it in our water. Wait, scratch that ... we don't really have any water.

Sand. The military goes through a s**t - ton of sandbags and we could easily keep up with demand. As long as the data centers don't need all our sand to go with all our water and electricity ...

What else can El Paso offer?
