It is not so much Boeing and the US military - they have always been heavy users of carbon fibre.
The current (new) problem is caused by Airbus Industries. They want to buy everything. They want suppliers to get out of existing contracts. No time limit either - the new giant plane is expected to have a production life of at least 20 or 30 years!!
