Since Iain didn't started off using words like "suck", I don't see a reason to ramp things up by assuming the worst. IMHO, it's not a good idea to jump to conclusions in print.

I think some requirements that the military have for adopting a CCR are relevant, like scrubber performance and WOB. While others, like only having 2 lights on a HUD-green for go, red for no-are not so useful to us civilians. But one thing seems sure, militaries test rigorously and have greater resources, especially human resources, to conduct those tests than manufacturers, that's the value of military test data, when it's available. -Andy
