Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and they had some top Army PR people on, and they made it sound like this isn't the only example.
The sliver of hope is that they were openly talking bad about the specific contractors that operate like this, and we're finding new companies to work with that don't require such stupid procedures.
