I see them advertised all the time, and I think it's really funny.
Cargo pants are now tactical pants.
Tactical belts to go with the tactical pants.
Tactical golf shirts.
Tactical boots.
Tactical flashlights.

I even saw a tactical holder (clips on your belt) for hand sanitizer bottle.
Okay, so a good chunk of it is just marketing, but does anyone else think this is just... funny?

I don't think this casual trend of "tactical" stuff is about fear, as such.
