Overwhelming Majority Favors Military Equipment Repair Freedom

A recent survey by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) found that over three-quarters of Americans support the inclusion of a ‘right-to-repair’ provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), allowing military service members to repair their own equipment.
