    When I see something described as “mil-spec”, the thing I associate with military gear quality is that it’s terrible. Aircraft that fall out of the sky, mass-produced uniforms that special forces soldiers immediately get rid of, infrastructure that leaks poison into water supplies. When I see a business built around troop worship, it’s likewise a junior enlisted trying to get out of work beneath leadership that has lost every war they’ve fought. They’re Nazis in a parody about Nazis. You’re part of the force that’s famous for not spotting IEDs right in front of them and that’s supposed to give me confidence in your poop-spotting abilities?

    Indirect fire specialists who track enemy mortars and artillery are primarily concerned with two locations: the point of origin, and the point of impact. For the ones that prepare an offensive response, they literally live in the poo.
