So ISIL gets US made tents but I try to go camping and every tent on the shelf is made in China. Damn.

And if you're a US citizen, you technically paid for both.

And technically....they were both made in China.

Technically, all jokes aside, most US military equipment is manufactured by US prison labor.

Most of our (personnel) tents are manufactured by Alaskan Structures out of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

And sometimes goods made in US aren't always made entirely here. Read this, as every State has different interpretations of the FTCs ruling.

Also, here's another article about New Balance shoes made not entirely in the US.

This one from Consumer Reports puts it nicely into perspective too.

So even if the cost of making my product in India cost $4, but I sell it for $400 dollars, then I've definitely fit the FTC's definition of my good/product being "Made in the U.S.A".

Of course for complicated products then the final assembly has to be here. But for clothing or handbags then that's super easy to get out of. Hire a designer, make the garments overseas at a very low cost, sell them over here for over 100% of the original cost of making it over in China or India, and I've qualified for the labeling policy.

[–]ARedSchoolofThought 10ポイント11ポイント  (5子コメント)

To be fair to new balance, they aren't trying to fool anyone. Their only shoe made entirely in the USA with fabrics / parts from US suppliers is the 990s which cost way more then any of their other shoes.

[–]SirChurch -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's a little more than just the 990

Agreed. The price difference between their 990s and other series highlights why products are made over seas. Cheers!

[–]faustuf 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or they just mark up the price because it's got that "MADE IN THE USA" label or for the label , ya think?

[–]Traubster 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

SWIM worked for a company that would manufacture high-end lightning equipment in Mexico then import it to the United States to place "Proudly Made in the USA" labels on the fixtures then dramatically mark up the prices.

This company also received huge US grants for research and large defense contracts...

        It's really interesting to learn about how the military deals with bases being over run or equipment breaking down in random places.

        I watched the documentary, "Restrepo" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrepo_(film) where their firebase in Afghanistan was basically under heavy attack, and they were told to just dip out. If I remember correctly the US came back at some point and retook the base, but for a time there was no one there and the 'insurgents' just walked on up like they were looking for a new house and rummaged around in all the goodies left behind.

        I have one of those tents, there's a lot floating around, my dad got it at an army surplus store a long time ago. It's 4 tent sections that get connected together to form a big tent, and you can add more it you want. It is an absolute bitch to put up though.

        They would not be bad for desert use. If you have even the slightest chance of rain though, you don't want to use them. You'll stay drier holding a colander over your head.

          I own a military canteen that says US, it stands for unserviceable, not to be used again in service. I got it from the cadets. It's really not a massive leap that these guys stole this, or hell purchased it online for a few hundred bucks and had it shipped.

          I don't know about "unserviceable", but you'll see lots of gear stamped "US" as an identifier. You'll see DRMO on surplus gear that was sold.

          This "muh US equipment" thing really needs to stop. We've been arming various factions since WWII, leaving things behind, selling it as surplus, and having unlicensed copies made of our designs. It's not surprising that some of our stuff is turning up in the hands of scavengers.

            If there was a disinfo campaign to make the conspiracy theory community look dumb and misinformed it's pretty much done I think.

              Obama’s Pentagon Refuses To Target ISIS Training Camps… NO Airstrikes Allowed.

              So I clicked that link. gmmuk.com referenced an article on americasfreedomfighters.com which referenced an article on weaselzippers.com which referenced an article on freebeacon.com which states (direct quote):

              “Whenever we identify ISIL moving, staging, operating or training in any number, target them and strike them,” Ryder [Air Force Col., a spokesman for U.S. Central Command] said. “As a result, ISIL is not longer able to move freely or train openly for fear of being hit.”

              As a result of the air campaign, ISIL has begun “hiding amongst civilian populations and employing terrorist weapons from entrenched, defensive hiding places,” Ryder said, adding, “regardless, the coalition can and will continue to identify, pursue and strike them relentlessly.”

              Which kind of refutes the statement all those sites are making. These links don't provide proof of a "NO Airstrikes Allowed" policy. Quite the opposite.

              Yeah, I went through some of these. Figured I might as well remain open minded, right? But when a video turns from arguing that the ISIS beheadings are fake to explaining exactly why the Illuminati did it and what their specific goals are, you realize that whoever is making the video is full of shit. Kind of disappointing in a way.

                  Yes there have been Syrian rebels that joined IS. It's about power, not religion, that's why Sadam's old officers are IS leaders

                  Well, Saddam's old officers are part of the Sunni minority who got sidelined in the government by Shiites, so it's not not about religion. It's also not not about power and control.

                    yep, they captured a shitload of US supplies, weapons and vehicles as they ran roughshod through Iraq.

                    Or did everyone forget that we armed and supplied Iraqi military while we were there and continued to do so after we pulled out?

                    When Iraqi forces ran like chickenshits from Ramadi, they left everything behind. In just that one city ISIS got humvees left behind, a few M1A1 tanks, a few thousand M4 rifles, a helicopter, Bradley fighting vehicles, artillery, ammo, uniforms, tents, medical gear, etc. Everything that the Iraqis were using in Ramadi is now in ISIS hands, and that's just one city that they took over.

                    I just did, but it didn't show anything about how ISIS got them. I fully believe that ISIS most likely stole them from the Syrian army, in the same way they stole these tents from the Iraqi army. That's my whole point actually.

Then when they walk into the local bait store they tell two friends who then tell two more ignorant friends and not a single one tries to find out the truth.

I believe that the government can carry out a project that requires years of planning and involves tens of thousands of people while keeping its purpose a secret, at least while it's occurring. It was called the Manhattan Project.

                      Didn't we leave equipment in Kuwait after the Gulf War? And didn't ISIS obtain said US equipment prior to their coming into power? Yes, it is ours, but it was probably from the Gulf War; I'm not too concerned about this. Maybe America needs to clean up after itself in the future, you know, so terrorists don't get a hold of our weapons, eh?

                      And yes, Russia supplied weapons, but we're not talking about Russia right now, so don't give me that crap.

                      I literally just saw a guy saying that because Osama had clean BDU jackets that he must have been supplied by the US.

                      Because it's not like we've sold weapons and gear around the world or gave them away throughout the Cold War. Not to mention licensed and unlicensed foreign copies.

                          Im not well versed in the whole war with ISIS, but one thing has always struck me as odd, and maybe someone can give me a legitimate reason, or possible a speculation on this.

                          From my understanding, ISIS has broken apart from seperate terrorist cells such as Al-Queda, with (minorly) different values than their parent groups. ISIS started out quite small when the group broke out in the news, why did the US government do absolutely nothing to stop the group whilst it was growing, knowing that these radical groups largy multiply in numbers in an extremely short time. Why was war only declared once the numbers have reached an alarming number, and a substantial amount of damage was already done. Why is this group still such a large military threat when the US military has the ability to wipe out a large amount of their force almost effortlessly?

                          Again sorry for any ignorance about the subject, im really not well educated on whats going on with the whole situation

                          It's obviously there to guide confused terrorists into the right tent. You'd sure want to be in the right camp, and not enter the THEM tent.

                          I guess the fact that ISIS uses AK 47s and Russian tanks means that Russia is arming them.

                          Right?

                          Is it common for tents to get stolen? Why is everyone jumping to this conclusion? Seems embarassing to think that Isis gierillas could've knicked a large tent like that... Let alone wanted to. Training camps being filmed seems like such a,propaganda campaign in the first place.

                          Nothing was stolen, all was given to them, stop the diffusion people.

                          Take a good look at thus picture. Zoom in. It looks fake as shit. Almost like a production set or something. Reminds me of the Osama videos.

                          The one time people don't buy made in China products and everyone loses their mind. Lol

                          Some small, U.S. business owner is probably able to feed their family by selling those tbh

                          ISIS is really good at liberating/scavenging/appropriating equipment from previous conflicts.

                          ISIS captured Iraqi and Syrian military bases.

                          Equipment provided to moderates tend to end up in ISIS's hands.

                          It doesn't help that the "moderate" which McCain buddied up with turned out to be the freaking head of ISIS in Libya. Accidental airdrops over ISIS positions...

                          Not saying that the US is purposefully training or supplying ISIS. Just saying it looks really suspicious.

                          Can't take "Barrel bombs" seriously. Did anyone see the article where they tried to pass a cubical structure off as a OMG SUPER SECRET CAMOUFLAGED NUCLEAR WEAPONS REACTOR!

                          U.S. made tents. Soviet made guns. U.S. and the Soviet Union are funding ISIS: confirmed.

                          This sub and it's subscribers are complete garbage.... Just ignore how ISIS got a lot of their stuff because it's better for the "merica iz bad amirite?" narrative.
