In the second decade of the 21st century, history repeats: once again, brothers versus brothers are fighting, this time for their own right to exist.
"Many in the Confederacy seem to see us similar to the people that had lead our mother country into its demise that it is today; starting war only to fuel its greed and corruption. But we do not see ourselves that way. We see ourselves as a company that prides itself in staying out of the world of politics and only make equipment that our people need for our people. We do this because we believe in a competitive market, a market that makes companies bring out the best of themselves and make the best products for the people whether it's civil or military. And like a respectful company that values humility we always welcome the competition. And to preserve that right of a free market is a right to have and to protect as all of our products are manufactured in the Confederacy and not outsourced to third world countries like what the United States does, as our products are for the South, by the South."- An interview with the Chairman of SSMF, The Houston Chronicle, October 2022
