The end of the world as we know it.

Well maybe a bit of an overstatement but this (http://www.militarykit.com/products/footwear/military_pt-03_british_army_running_shoe.h tm) is a very bad thing.

That is close to commercialisation of our armed forces, will we see group4 running a privatised army in future? I bet soldiers still get issued crappy Hi Tec Silver Shadows while the stupid masses buy 'ARMY TRAINERS' for £70.

I may have to go and lie down to get over the shock. If you saw that on ebay you would think it was a scam.

:eek:

There is a book, Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson, which is set in a future USA where the armed forces (and everything else) have been privatised, the authors tongue is firmly in his cheek, but I seem to recall this is exactly how his nightmare future began!
