I thought "tactical" jumped the shark half a decade ago.

I used to hate "tactical", but "operator" now pisses me off more!

I have forgotten about tactical. Now everything and everybody is an operator! Tactical 5.11's are now Operator 5.11's!

Unprepared cops will be tactical zombies? Swat will be operator zombies?

At least "zombies" have a generally agreed upon definition. "Tactical" is a completely meaningless term.

I'm starting to hate zombies, it's too main stream. Now, I know how hipsters feel.

Tactical jumped the shark before zombies were on the mainstream radar.

Can hipsters be the new "zombie"?

"Tactical" and "Operator" piss me off.

I think that zombies have dynamically jumped the tactical shark.

This...and I used to love Zombie stuff. Now it's jumped the tactical shark.

Jumping the shark jumped the tactical zombie.

ETA: I see where this is going.

You don't believe the zombies are coming?

You know what you'll do when they get here? Taste delicious, that's what.

Are we allowed to shoot them in the head?

At least zombie is a lighthearted subject.

Everyone thinks tactical means awesome.

The only Tactical I have is LaRue.

The only Zombie I have are movies.

That's as far as I go.

Time to dust off "Combat".

Combat pants.

Combat sling.

Combat light.

Combat zombies.

"Extreme Tactical", particularly when it's referring to something that isn't, well, tactical. I actually saw somewhere last year an "extreme tactical" personal toiletries kit, complete with MOLLE webbing and all the other tactical shit "Operators" need while flossing.

No, what's the most is describing every minor discrepancy as FAiL11!1.

Fuck those those losers.

If you post proof of Brittyness, such as pics of your vestigial tail I'll make an exception.

You've chosen a difficult path, but with determination I'm sure you can do it.
