    This reminds me how “military-grade” tends to indicate the lowest possible quality

      iirc military grade was more meant for being able to be used in the extreme ends of temperatures (e. g blazing desert and frozen tundra) which many typical devices would fail to work in. it later devolved into a marketing term that doesnt really mean anything.

        With regards to electronic components, it had to do with tight tolerances (at one time), EMP shielding, and wide temperature operating range.

        Military grade boots just means it’ll permanently fuck up your feet in four years tho

    It’s so funny how much abuse boots take but they never frag their COs over it.

      They are truly housebroken, it’s easier to just keep your mouth shut until your discharge

        And even after you’re discharged, you don’t disrespect the military or the country it protects. You just complain about “politicians” and “businessmen,” which is fair, but it’s the same logic as bad apples.

      If you think our barracks or on post housing are bad, wait until you see the inside of Ft. Leavenworth.

      Also, kill the CO’s all you want, there’s literally an army full of LT’s waiting for their chance to get an extra shiny bar and sit in the big chair.

      It’s especially funny when they become veterans and complain about “the government” mistreating their soldiers. Never criticizes the officers or generals, and never criticize the military as an institution. It’s just politics that’s sending our boys to die and letting them drink rusty water and hazed.

      I think it’s the difference between being drafted into a fucked conflict versus signing up willingly (which means you likely get a variety of very weird as Hell personality types), that and also indoctrination happens big time on bases with boots told to “tough it up”
