Combat Clothing Company
San Diego, CA - A new clothing company which calls itself "Combat Clothing", based in southern California, has recently come under fire from numerous military veterans organizations. The company, which bills itself as a "streetwear and urban apparel" brand, often adopts military themes in its clothing styles.
Veterans organizations, such as Guardian of Valor, have blasted the company -- which has no ties to the military -- for attempting to profit off the use of a military-specific word.
"I feel that everyone has been in combat in some form or fashion," said Billy Wong, the CEO of Combat Clothing. "I may not have been in the military and experienced being shot at, but I have experienced verbal combat in arguments with my girlfriend, and I played Mortal Kombat in an arcade a couple of times."
