Wet Bulb? Not even the Army abides to the Wet Bulb. Except maybe black, but that's after several soldiers have fallen out.

Comparing the military to any other industry is ludicrous. First and foremost is the physical requirements of military service that do not apply, for practical purposes, in any other industry. Another major difference is that all military people understand that they could be killed on the job as part of their work even when they have done everything exactly right...no other industries employees expect this as a normal part of their career. The military is tough because it requires it...ultimately the job is one where fighting for your very existence can be a reality. Roofing houses in a civilized society should never be viewed in the same manner.
