    Why doesn’t the army just make blister-preventing socks?

    That really sounds like some amazing government invention that gets everywhere. Like accelerometers. Or Tang.

        Nah a lot of times government inventions get sold under license. Gov invents it and private industry perfects it. Within 5 years you’d have Darn Tough blisterproof socks and gov gets a fraction of every sale. It’s how NASA has the best ROI in the government.
