[quote:US Army - Dressed By China 18387358:MV8xOTA4NzkzXzdBRUFBRUE3] [color=darkblue]Master Sgt. Steve Adachi is willing to fight for his country, but not in the Chinese-made boots his unit gave him. “I went back to the reserves supply warehouse and asked the supply manager why I was issued Chinese-made boots,” Adachi said. “He told me that they were less expensive as opposed to the U.S.-made ones. I urged him to reissue me U.S. boots, citing that I did not feel comfortable ‘going to war’ wearing boots made in China.” After a flurry of emails, he asked his unit’s supply manager via email how he could exchange the boots for ones made in America. The response: “Good luck.”[/color] http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2012/06/airforce-master-sergeant-no-chinese-made-boots-062512/ :yessir: :otrike: [/quote]
