It's hard to care about being "patriotic" when your car needs work or your stomach is empty.

I, too, have a few friends who just want the money and don't care what it ultimately costs.
See above.

When it came time to vote on our contracts, the ONLY thing many members cared about was the $300 signing bonus; people can be bought very cheaply.
Since $300 equals a weeks pay plus for a lot of people, it's understandable.

Even on these boards, I've asked where to put this money to do the most good for our country. I can't see how buying something made in China helps us. I can't see how putting it in the bank helps our country.

Should we just do a lot of eating out?
You gotta make sure you can provide for yourself and your family before you try to support someone/something else finacially wise. But your guess is as good as mine when it comes to importing super cheap shit.
