When did "tactical" become a selling point?

While I am by no means a Tacticool kinda guy...my flanel and camo hat would beg to differ :P I do enjoy what I usualy get from "Tacticool" knives and some of my other stuff ie my AR10. The Knife tends to be more hard use and I am willing to inflict more abuse on it than my Case Trapper. As far as AR10 a bolt action 270 doesnt work nearly as well as the AR for hunting Cyotee
 
The tactical bacon put out by CMMG for example. CMMG is an AR-15 manufacturer and the tactical bacon is a tongue in cheek dig at a certain adversaries with specific religious beliefs.

Just my .02

Total clarification man! I'd always wondered about the genesis of tactical bacon. Thanks.
 
Best thread I've gone through in a long, loooong time! Had me bust out laughing, tripping through memory lane, thinking STRATEGIC thoughts like what the heck is a knife really for?
What a great read! Keep 'em coming.
