What you said was:
"For a country's military organisation, it is far better to reverse engineer because they aren't a commercial organisation and don't care about the customer base, which is really the valuable part of the business, but want exclusive use of any technology that they develop."
Companies don't have militaries, states do.
In any event militaries don't develop products "in house". In July 2001 the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) sold its Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). Your claim that the UK military will "just take the idea and build their own" is ludicrous.
Finally the exclusive use assertion indicates ignorance the procurement process. Counties and their militias license products to each other to insure commonality and to reduce costs. The use of American aircraft by dozens of countries is a prime example.
