The problem with that line is that no military bothers with goretex
lined boots.

There has to be a reason for that.


Absolutely. And it's not just cost factor either.

LOL, and you actually believe the "King of Trolls?!"

Of course boots with Gore-Tex membranes for water-proofness and
breathability are used by the military. You can even buy factory seconds
of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine boots with the GoreTex membrane.

Also, some militaries use socks with a GoreTex membrane, though this is
not as effective.

For g-d's sake, if you're going to agree with someone, don't make it the
King of Trolls, someone who makes it a career of being uninformed on as
many subjects as is humanly possible.
