Didn't realise they made stuff for the military. .... bit less keen on them now..

" sorry mr taliban, I can't chase you today, I had to send my forks away for a service"

I'm sure they understand...

My 2p;

1) I find someone who styles themselves 'eviljoe' complaining about this quite funny 😉

2) Don't buy a camelbak, Goretex, etc etc if military applications of products available to civilians bothers you.

No, don't use a camelbak. As far as I can remember don't own any goretex.... but yes it is way easier to hold principals than to adhir to them.

'Evil' was a nickname given to me with a fair degree of irony!

Yes, I am aware that products developed for the military trickle down to civilian use, and we are often thankful that they do. But usually the military demand a high level of reliability and a long time between services from their kit? If fox can make a 'fit and forget' shock for military use, why can't they do it for ours?

That is also a very good point.

Also don't forget, no using GPS, devloped and run by the Pentagon.

I've met eviljoe. He's definitely not evil. Just so's you know.

That's a little arbitrary. How do we know what your reference scale is based upon? Have you created a zero and maximum value anchored to SI standards?

Well, on an empirical scale of Mother Teresa to Hitler, Joe comes in at round about a Martin Luther King and a half.
