Or meh, whichever is appropriate. The appeal certainly isn't unanticipated, and naturally they are going to express themselves in the strongest terms possible. It's a global economy. As some commenter pointed out at the Seattle Times website, it's naive and silly to expect the military to provide itself with weapons, equipment and supplies solely out of what's made exclusively in the USA.
