I know that Call of Duty: It’s One Damn Thing After Another has generated more money than the gross national product of Belize, but I’m beginning to think that the whole tacticool thing is sitting on a motorcycle on a ramp in front of a shark-stocked swimming pool. As America’s military incursions into Iraq and Afghanistan proceed to their predictably ignominious conclusion, civilians’ taste for Walter Mittty, I mean military levels of combat preparedness is bound to wane. Or is it? Is tacticool still cool?
I grew up in the ’80’s, and then, it was ninjas. Now it’s “tactical”- pens, watches, and even luggage. Paint it black or dark brown, and call it tactical.
Is it dumb? If it serves no purpose, it’s tacticool, and it’s dumb.
