This is what people don't get - military grade is not James Bond spy gear that can do a million things in a small package - military grade is something that still has a semblance of working after being beat to shit in storage for twenty years, manhandled by a bunch of gorillas who don't give a damn about it, and blown up and shot at.

A lot of what makes military grade what it is boils down to “we specified every goddamn thing down to how you dot your i’s so soldiers won’t get screwed over by the lowest bidder cutting corners”.

Yes, there is a military specification for (generic) pop tarts which covers how much filling, what’s in it, and how much frosting is applied.

Those specifications come in very important when suddenly you have everyone making pop tarts - or IBM making machine guns.
