As an American who uses the 24-hour time, so many people use 12-hour I basically still use 12-hour.

    Not quite. It’s anything that meets the minimum for the military. This, for most normal items, means getting the job done and lasting long enough, with an emphasis on low cost and bulk production. The result is “military grade” usually being the absolute worst that still works.

    As someone that outdoors a lot, this shit is great for many items. If I base camp, all my water containers are military, and I have 120mm ammo boxes for food and stuff because animals, water, and air can’t get in. Heavy and inconvenient as hell, but cheap af and works well—that’s military crap for you.

      …absolutely zero people that have been in the US military agree with your assessment. Doesn’t matter the branch or MOS.

        That’s not an assumption lol. Literally what 810 is.

        Shit to get the job done. If it didn’t work for you, it did for 9 others, so it worked and the job was done.
