I went to Allied Surplus to get a few items recently and they had what I wanted. However, when I tried to buy an a reflective American Flag (IR) they said only Active Duty military could buy it. This is pure BS. I bought IR flags from other Army/Navy stores before. I asked the employee why he could not sell the flag to me and he said that he doesn't know if I was a CARTEL member or not. I showed my retired military ID and he said no sale today. I almost cursed out this smart a*^ punk kid, but I didn't. Overall nice store if it wasn't for this JERK behind the counter. Give em hell for me my brother Veterans. Cartel member my a**. Go "F" yourself kid. I served for 20 years in the Army and this punk would not sell me an American flag and called me a Cartel member. If I was I would have busted a cap on this dude for his smart mouth.
