Buy American or The Best Available?
I personally do not understand why they cannot change the law to allow DOD contractors to produce this product for this purpose (no exeptions). Then we wouldn't have this problem.

Re: Buy American or The Best Available?
If you're getting shot at, you want the vest that stops the most bullets, you're not looking at the label. In cases where quality is equal, then sure, buy American. But if it's not, you're rewarding poor(er) standards, and that's not the American way...

Re: Buy American or The Best Available?
I'm not gonna lie, I really don't pay too much attention to the "made in ___" labels. That's bad, I know.

Re: Buy American or The Best Available?
One would hope that when puirchasing equipment for the troops, the only consideration would be quality.

That might make a good thread. Everyone finish the sentence: "One would hope..." "One would hope that all restaurant employees would wash their hands after using the bathroom." "One would hope that the surgeon performing one's triple bypass hasn't been up taking crank for ten days." Etc, Etc.

Re: Buy American or The Best Available?
Best available, as in what I'm looking for within a certain price range. I refuse to be guilted into buying inferior products whether it be by price or where it's from.

Re: Buy American or The Best Available?
At one point I decided to buy all Made In US but its much harder then one would think. I finally gave up after a couple of weeks. As for this case you go with the best product period.
