Empire Has Its Perks

The Official Cartoonist of Wheat & Weeds reports from Iraq that his base PX sells nothing but items made in China. And Turkey. To send home genuine Iraqi merchandise, he had to give some bills to the unit interpreter before he left for vacation, with the request to please return with something made in-country.

Is my conscience troubling me about my participation in this plunder of a host nation? Not remotely.
