I realize I am like a minnow swimming upstream in the Mississippi River but recently I was walking past a rack of baseball type hats in Walmart and looked at a nice one with the Air Force insignia actually embroidered on the front and the words U.S. Air Force printed on the bill. Looking at it closer on the inside there was an official looking emblem that when one read the fine print stated: Officially Approved by Department of the Air Force. Just below that was the tag that read Made in China. That blew me away. I know, I know, no use in getting worked up in Walmart about Chinese stuff but that emblem that said it was approved by the Air Force just tripped my trigger to the point where I even wrote an email to the Air Force Association to see if they could bring it to the attention of somebody who might care to put a stop to having Chinese products made for US military forces. To be totally honest I even wrote a email to the White House with my concern. Surprisingly I received a reply to that one but it was a pretty well canned reply that did not give any specifics. Oh well, thanks for tolerating my vent.
