Title: OK Enough is enough... "Tactical"
Post by: RTFM on July 18, 2012, 08:12:07 AM

We all know and laugh at the over abundance of the word use TACTICAL - but come on - NRA - Mark A. Keefe IV on safari with his "Tactical" Blackhawk shorts and a dress shirt....

What's next - my RealTree colored tassels on my Kydek loafers?

Flat black paint and the word "Tactical" will sell anything faster these days. If you really want to sell it, combine "Tactical" with "Zombie". Every 20 year old in the northern hemisphere will be reaching for his wallet.

The word should be banned from the English language.

Every time I go by I get the urge to go in and kick some one in the groin.

And every 22 year old snot nosed kid with a video game controller thinks they knew exactly how the tree was cut down.

How did you know they were Blackhawk? XD 

Honestly, if you're going far from home and not going to be close to where you can get replacement won't you get good gear? 

I know tactical is over used, but I do cross use my gear between hunting, work, and mountain biking. 

I use gear that will get me their and back, even if that brand is Wrangler, Ariat, and Stetson or Blackhawk!,5.11, and Springfield. 

In other words, just because you do think it's necessary doesn't mean it isn't.  I'm sure you'd get grumpy if someone told you not to wear camo Under Armour flip flops if you wanted.

Nukes are tactical, underwear isn't.
They only use the word in order to get the mallninja market.
