I read somewhere that we could not actually put a large number of men in uniform quickly today because of...no uniforms, no boots, and no way to manufacture them quickly.

We would have to make China an ally.

The overwhelming majority of U.S. military equipment is made in the U.S. That includes clothing and footwear.

The U.S. textile industry makes the world’s most advanced polymers and fibers.

The U.S. is also a leader in technologically advanced clothing that includes body temperature control, perspiration reduction, injury treatment, waterproofing, and bacteria blocking.

As for China, it’s industrial prowess is fading fast. Factories are closing more than opening and it is losing manufacturing jobs faster than gaining them.
