I fully support our military buying American but they switched from a tablet to an iphone 6s. The obvious question is why didn't they switch to an ipad or a newer version of the note? The writer basically asks the same question:
=======================================================
It’d be interesting know from which Android device the Army is switching, but if it’s the original Galaxy Note that was released in 2010, then it makes perfect sense. The iPhone 6s is lightyears faster than the 2010 Galaxy Note, but if it were a more recent Note device, it’d be nice to hear the motivation behind the switch.
========================================================
My guess is the most likely motivation for the switch, as with many government contracts, involves some form of crony capitalism.

I was thinking some brass in the Pentagon got their collective palms greased. So, yeah.

The Note is a phone.

That you think this is "American". Just about every single part is from overseas and manufactured overseas. Apple is big in China.
