So are you saying you only buy products that are 100% built/made in the USA?

Americans died so that Americans can live comfortable lives in the future. A huge part of that goal are well employed middle and lower class workers who can feed their families and send their children to college. These are the Americans who work for foreign automakers who manufacture and pay taxes in America.

That would be impossible, however if you have a choice between a Ford, and Mazda based on same chassis the choice should be simple (which appears to be what I'm dealing with)??

I've excused quite a bit more than a typo. Your generation makes me believe we need mandatory service.

If Ford owned Mazda at the time it would not matter. As the money would flow to the top and that would have been Ford.

They only work for these manufacturers due to lack of civic pride created by a few.

Ignorance must truly be bliss. Go to bed until you understand a big boy game. Ford never owned Mazda.

This has nothing with service or Texans. This is about your ignorance in convincing people that they should feel bad about buying a foreign car that benefits more Americans than one from a domestic make. I have family in the military and respect the work they do even though many brave uniformed Americans don't necessarily agree with everything our military does. I respect your choice to buy whatever it is you want but no one should feel bad about buying foreign and everyone should know just how many American jobs depend on foreign companies who manufacture in America. Reducing foreign manufacturing in America would be putting a gun to the side of proud American heads and blowing their patriotism all over the American flag. This includes proud Texans and service members. Toyota manufactures in Texas.
