do you think they realize the irony in this or do they just not care?

3. I got a recruitment from Army Nurse Corps the other day
and it came with a lanyard to put my keys on and a CD case.

Both were proudly wearing a sticker that said 'Made in China'

A few years ago I got a boonie hat and watch from the Army or Marines--same thing. Made in China.

THe irony made me laugh, then I cried.

4. My cousin is fighting...
the VFW where he lives because they sent him a hat or somesuch that said "Made in China".

Evidently, that's against one of their rules. So he's raising a stink.
