Military Morons

If you're a "mil-head" or a "Geardo" then you should know about Military Morons. Military Morons is a website for those of you who for personal or professional reasons get weak-kneed at the thought of olive drab cordura. If your idea of a Christmas gift is a pair of Gore-Tex combat boots, or you own more ammo pouches than ammo magazines, you are the ideal visitor to this website.

Run by a self-confessed "wanna-be" the site grew from an airsoft freak with more cash than common sense to a tipping-point website of gear reviews. Many of the new and innovative tactical gear companies actually send this guy equipment to "test" (mostly for fit and comfort) and review. If he pronounces something cool, then it has instant cachet in the world of tactical geeks. And he tends to be right about the "cool" factor.

If you fall into the group that thinks Military Morons is neat (for whatever reason) you should know about the two grand-daddy tactical gear firms: Blackhawk (which happens to be running a sale) and Eagle Industries. There are plenty of other manufacturers: London Bridge, Tactical Tailor, Spec Ops Brand, and Maxpedition to name a few. In our current age, when the soccer mom drives her brood to practice in a Hummer, there is something undeniably cool about stuffing your brown bag lunch and work portfolio into a tough-as-nails Coyote Brown Three Day Assault Pack.

I've wanted a gas mask for a long time. No reason, really. I want to wear one as part of a Halloween costume. Also, maybe I could use it to give me some relief from all the blasted poopy diapers around this place.
