There was a reason that our shipboard uniforms were 100% cotton. Synthetic fabric melts before it burns. It melts into the flesh of the person wearing it, and then it burns within that flesh, inflicting deep and terrible burns, often right down to the bone.
Today’s Navy has gone deeply stupid, because I read today that those idiotic camouflage working uniforms that they wear today are 50% nylon and only 50% cotton. Not surprisingly, they burn, and our sailors wear
them every day on US Navy ships at sea.
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea.
Not to mention from the fucking idiots who specify and buy their uniforms.
probably made in China, too
