All things military must be U.S. made

I think that it is absolutely disgusting that we would outsource anything to do with our U.S. military! This is our money being used for this contract; each and every one of us should put our foot down and say, “Enough is enough!”

If Washington, D.C., wants a stimulus package, using a U.S. company would be a fantastic start! Plus the fact that anything our U.S. military is using should absolutely be made in the USA, to maintain their safety and our security! If we want to outsource anything, let’s make it European chocolate or buy a baguette!

Everyone should be mad and everyone should put their foot down and say, absolutely not! Plus, I want the names of the people who made this decision — those people need to be outsourced!
