Vet clothing co. Releases 'tactical bathrobe' for unemployed veteran operators

DURHAM, N.C. — Veteran-owned clothing company Ranger Up has released a first-of-its kind "Tactical Bathrobe" for customers who are unemployed veteran operators.

According to the company's website, the TacRobe X4 will come complete with built-in magazine pouches and a bottle opener to crack open that last beer you'll have before you start applying for jobs.

"Our research has shown that the combat arms community is basically unemployable in the civilian world," said Ranger Up spokesman Joe Mance. "So we decided to give those vets something unique to wear around the house as they fruitlessly apply for jobs for a couple years before inevitably becoming a cop or reenlisting."
