I’m not talking about what the military could or would use, I’m talking about what it takes for something to be called military grade.

"military grade" isn't a protected phrase. As a consumer you might be able to sue them if the thing breaks and they can't prove that phrase meant anything? But doubtful.

Claiming to conform to a more specific product or process standard would be more specific fraud.

But in general though "military grade" is a red flag for shitty marketing.

Example: pop tarts are military grade! [1]

Though their commercial packaging is likely not.
