"Land Warrior was saved only by a crash 12-week program to replace
military-spec equipment with commercially available technologies, including
parts bought off the shelf from Fry's Electronics, the big California
consumer retailer. That lowered the price and weight dramatically, and
brought Land Warrior in line with the Defense Department's push to use more
civilian gear. In testing, however, soldiers found the new Land Warrior
equipment too fragile for the rough-and-tumble of combat. In 2003, another
defense contractor, General Dynamics, was enlisted to  create a third,
military-hardened version of the system.

So....where was all the Fry's stuff made....nice to see the US mil doing
the R&D for the PRC.....
