I laughed when I first heard that. Everyone knows the mil-spec means lowest bidder.
Yeah! We used to joke half heartedly when we were in the bush that our weapons and equipment were made by the lowest bidder. I just shake my head when folks use the mil-spec thing like it is the highest standard. Only those with no actual combat experience buy into that. How times have changed. 45 years ago no one wanted anything to do with military or mil-spec and we didn't even dare wear uniforms off base. Just a short haircut would give it away and one could suffer ridicule. Now, everyone seems enamored with anything that even looks like it has something to do with the military, and "mil-spec" is the latest fad du jour.
It's the Hollywood Heroes.
