Still the purchase of the new U.S. army berets from China factories has to be the biggest slap of all!

Why the Pentagon purchased this uniform must use issue item from China when our own hat and cap factories centered in regions like Missouri and Arkansas are disappearing and going out of business is beyond me? Some U.S. manufacturer employing Americans should have been able to make these berets paid with our tax money. So what if the price was a bit higher? This way we keep our folks off of unemployment besides.

Government purchases like this should be kept at home and given the first priority.
