Sometimes I’ll get an ad for something like a “tactical windbreaker” or “tactical cargo pants” and I panic and think “what have I done that the surveillance state thinks I want this?!”
Until I saw some of these ads I never considered a windbreaker could even be tactical or whatever the alternative is, strategic? Am I wearing strategic pants because they aren’t tactical?
I say this literally wearing a pair of Underarmor Cargo pants - things marketed as tactical are cringe. I keep an Arktis pack jacket in my car in case of rain alongside an e-tool.
Anyone who can't stand to carry the Minnie Mouse shoulder bag full of diapers is a total loser. If you buy anything 'tactical' to assert your 'manhood' you only further prove it only took you 20 seconds to do your part of the work for making the baby.
If they’re camo they’re tactical, if they’re black they’re strategic, and if it doesn’t have a place to holster a gun then it’s just women’s clothing. If you don’t have a quick pull holster in your baby carrier with five extra magazines and a flash bang then the terrorists have already won. Freedom isn’t free, or something like that.
got a lot of this guy, he's never heard of the tactleneck in slightly darker black
The widespread presence of your very cool tactical pants among the broader population is a strategic advantage. Or something.
