As a non-vet: it's pretty easy to see all the things that fires off that buzzword.
Phone case? Military grade drop protection! But it can still really only protect against falls of 4 feet or less. Not gonna do much in a jet, on a large ship or on a heavily armored vehicle.
Military grade encryption, is another.
Hard drives were the only "military grade" thing that I recall actually worked, and that's because they're deliberately engineered to deal with bouncing and knocking around, situations that are outside of the spec of normal hard drives.
I deal with MS and NAS standard shit every day in the civilian world. That kind of "certification" is purely marketing. One out of a hundred are good but a hundred cost as much as a good one. Cheaper to replace til you find the good one ?
As a vet, I can attest to the fact that when we hear "military grade" we cringe.
