    Yeah people think Military means some kind of ruggedness or Nasa like stability, but it usually means it “meets the standard”, usually at a minimum. Marketing really took off and ran with that one.

    lol [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_grade](military grade). I never gave this much thought until I bought some “military-grade” weight plates for my home gym. They were FAR lower quality than my other plates, but also cheaper. This isn’t even a matter of “which” military, this is a matter of the cheapest thing that technically meets standards.
