Navy switiching to fire-resistant uniforms


Since our military is generally around combustibles, you would assume their uniforms are fire-resistant. Apparently that is not the case for current Navy uniforms, which are not only flammable, but also melts. So basically, if you wear one of these things and you catch fire, it will melt itself onto you so you can’t get it off and proceed to “burn robustly until completely consumed.” Scary, no?
