And stand in line to pay it with zero information to back up the outlandish claims. Just testimonials, along with claims by the manufacturer. (Usually some ex SEAL or retired "operator"). It reminds me of engine oil additives. If you walk the isles of most any auto parts store, there is at least one of them filled end to end with engine or transmission additives. Every one of them with the promise to, "Reduce Wear", "Improve Performance", "Give Longer Engine Life", and "Increase Fuel Economy". Yet they cannot provide one single bit of scientific data to prove such claims. And NOT ONE manufacturer recommends ANY of them.
Yet every Saturday morning there is yet another one being advertised with the same line of B.S. that all of these miracle gun lubes are marketed with. Again, there is nothing wrong with any of this. It's the American way. If they can turn a buck, more power to them. I just get so tired of hearing how someone thinks they actually work "better", because of what they have experienced with the product. The fact is they would have experienced much the same thing with any of the others as well.
