SHLD: Better Than ITA As US Now Faces Organized Opposition
The Global X Defense Tech ETF (SHLD) is recommended over the iShares U.S. Aerospace and Defense ETF (ITA) due to its tech-oriented approach and better adaptability to new defense realities.

ITA's focus on traditional aerospace and defense companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin may struggle to adapt quickly to evolving defense requirements and budget constraints.
