I just wanted to say THANKS, to all of you that signed the Petition to get rid of The Black Beret. This just goes to show what we can do, when we unite as Americans. Thanks again,

(AP) - Army soldiers won't be wearing Chinese-made black berets, after all. The Pentagon issued a brief statement Tuesday night announcing plans to recall whatever Chinese-made berets have already been delivered and distributed.

Glad to hear that this petition to get rid of this Chinese made black beret was a success. i don't buy anything made in China. If everyone would do the same we would get rid of their child labour shoddy goods from the shelf of all the stores. Pay more for quality goods, it is worth it in the long run/

What I would like to know is what Shinseki stood to
gain from disobeying the law? And, isn't Congress
supposed to authorize changes to the uniform?

However, let us give Shinseki the benefit of the doubt,
and that a percentage of the berets HAD to be made
overseas...whose watch was it then? Klinton's?
Shinseki, despite the fact that he made a very unpopular decision, is a front man fall guy and I
would still like to know what was in it for him to
stick his neck out like that. I bet he gets a cushy
retirement job...
