Basically same with any company with "Patriot" or "Veteran" in the name.
It's just a weak pander to people's weak egos. Freedumb, if you will.

I’m waiting for “Titanium Sourdough” optical fibres myself.
Well those materials are verifiable at least.
My favorite are "titanium" products which are just electroplated with a layer of titanium a few atoms thick.
Tactical everything!
America is a country which thinks buying cheap tat from China with American Flags on is patriotic
I don’t disagree but it’s not hard to understand why people think “military grade” means it’s better. “Military grade” communicates tough/durable/stress tested to a lot of people. Veteran/patriot isn’t an indicator of build quality, even if it is also pandering to a certain sensibility.
For many products it just means it's a small run from a group that may not have a lot of domain experience using materials and methods that will make the end product appear superior to buyers.
Totally understand that, I’m just talking about the difference between “patriot/veteran” and “military grade” to the average person. The latter heavily implies “quality build” while also appealing to people (mostly dudes) who want that sort of label for whatever reason, while the former is purely about values and has no implications as far as quality is concerned.
Not really if it is owned by Veterans. There are many veteran owned businesses and I see nothing wrong with it.
