I know someone who survived the Bataan Death March and 3+ years in a Japanese POW camp. When he bought a Japanese car, that was a sign that WWII was really over.
That is certainly telling.
My grandfather,rest his soul, served in WWII and did 20 years in the Navy. He was truly a great man. In his day, he would not have wanted me to had bought anything not made in USA..... that’s almost impossible in todays world.
