Some Congress members are arguing that Amercians should be doing and getting paid to make the uniforms.

Free enterprise only when it suits.

Well the new camouflage material thst the us military uniform is made from is imported from China snd the factory in new Bedford Massachusetts, that use to manufacture them was closed down after the immigration raid thst arrested the majority of their workers .tgey probably being quietly manufactured in mexico since.

Re: Bill requiring USA uniforms to be made in America

I'm sitting on my patio while I type this on a Dell laptop (probably made in China). The patio furniture I'm sitting at, made in China. My sandals, shorts, t-shirt and underwear... China, China, China @ China. The glass I'm drinking from is most likely made in China. The Coca Cola is from Canada, the Bacardi is from Puerot Rico and the cigar is from Cuba. The solar powered lamps that surround me, all made in China. The citronella candle I have lit to help keep the bugs away, also made in China.
