What exactly is "tactical" anyway

twix, WTH?:confused: No, citing the original post, not you, twix.

[old geezer voice] "Tactical" in the old daze, when all of this was orchard, was used in the place of "combat" as was "practical."

I know nothing of any Americans fighting in Iraq at present. I am will continue to deny any such knowledge.
 
Every time I hear the word "Tactical" I cringe.

During my yout I spent some time at Ft Benning during our unpleasantries in Se Asia attempting to learn how to be cannon fodder. In Officer Candidate School we had "Tactical" Officers instead of drill sergeants.

Basically they were the most sadistic Officers the Army could find who tried to act like Drill Sergeants even though they had been in the Army only a little more time than I .

Mine mostly had me do pushups, lots of pushups. :(

They were not allowed to use profanity when screaming at us like the Drill Sergeants in basic so it was quite funny. Though it is hard to laugh when doing pushups.

Funny thing, they were all white guys? Why they were called "Tactical" is beyond me:confused:

Now THAT was great! :D
 
As a friends Mother use to say... "Tactical is as Tactical does."

Anything can be used Tactically. Now our beloved friends "The Marketers" came up with using Tactical to describe most anything that anyone that is DOD/LEO/Spl Ops/SWAT/etc uses. (especially if it is black)

"These are Tactical Socks! Issued by the FBI CWOT (Cold Weather Operations Team). They have 5 oz of Kevlar which protect your feet and 10 oz of Thermafiber to keep them toasty. With them you don't have to worry about your feet getting cold or banged up."

Ohhhhhhhhhh..... Aaaaaaaaaaaa. Woooooow! Give me 10 pairs!! Do they come in any color but black?

Remington Marine Magnum finished in Strategic Silver, very retro, like the strategic bombers of the 1950s.

Schmid, we are working on them, we are expecting a January 2003 release on the tactical boxer/briefs.

Too many people find themselves awaken by a BG in their room and don't have time to go for the gun in their lockbox. That's why nightstand (unsecured) guns are a bad idea. Our tactical underwear has a pocket built into them so you can pack while you sleep! There is also a pocket for a 6V surefire or extra magazine.
