I’m sorry to jump on this post but your assessment may not be entirely true. War is deception. In World War Two we created the 10th mountain division. In fact we only had one; but didn’t want the axis powers to know how many others may be around.

As far as clothing I cannot recommend Patagonia enough. A lot of companies offer “lifetime warranty” and when it comes time to use it there’s so much red tape or extra costs it’s not worth it. 12 years ago I bought a puffy Patagonia jacket, wore it constantly for 10 years and basically wore it out. It had almost more tape than fabric and was almost see through when I sent it in for repair. They emailed me back saying they couldn’t repair it and sent me a brand new jacket. The whole transaction cost me 5 dollars for a prepaid shipping label to them. They did not ask for a receipt or proof of purchase.
