Shouldn't that be a German flag in the picture?

I like the idea that our American Forces are using American built firearms.

The SOCCOM .45, with accessory silencer, is in use by some US Special Forces units and other SpecWar units as a special purpose handgun, so the US flag is indeed appropriate. Indeed, the wound delivered to the head of Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown following his plane crash was said to have been of about .45 caliber, and may well have been one of the first military uses of the silenced .45 on a *special mission.*

I still think that should be a German flag in the picture. I know our forces use H&K's but I think we can do better by using American made products.
