Jeebus! Even the Flag patches on US Soldiers' Uniforms aren't made in the USA!

Edited on Tue Jun-26-07 10:16 AM by n2doc

Federal prosecutors said Moritz Embroidery Works in Coolbaugh Township, near Mount Pocono, contracted with the U.S. military to make more than three million American flag patches, but prosecutors say that didn't happen. . . . Prosecutors claim that "somewhere else" was a company in Thailand. By doing that, Moritz reportedly broke the "Buy American Act", a law that's supposed to keep the military from buying clothes made somewhere other than the United States.

About the only thing still made in the US is the blood our Soldiers spill covering Bushco's ego over there. :banghead: :argh: :mad:
