- hsbauauvhabzb 10mo agoI’m not talking about what the military could or would use, I’m talking about what it takes for something to be called military grade.
- colechristensen 10mo ago"military grade" isn't a protected phrase. As a consumer you might be able to sue them if the thing breaks and they can't prove that phrase meant anything? But doubtful. Claiming to conform to a more specific product or process standard would be more specific fraud. But in general though "military grade" is a red flag for shitty marketing. Example: pop tarts are military grade!
