Heat is generally preferable to cold in a military setting because you can get wet and cool off in the heat, whereas in the cold, getting wet could be a potentially fatal situation.
Transcript: "I am so glad that my first opportunity to answer a question on this app is would you rather be freezing or be hot while on duty? Most people will tell you that they would rather be cold because they can always put on more layers Let me tell you why those people are psychopaths. First of all to establish my expertise on this I've been deployed in the deserts of Iraq in the summer where it's 150 degrees and the mountains of Afghanistan in the winter where it's Negative 20. Let me explain to you why hot is superior to cold. First of all, this is from a military perspective So no, you cannot just keep putting on layers You have to wear what is effective for you to operate on the mission within the parameters that you're deployed under So for example when I was in Afghanistan the very first mission that I went out on we left at 3 o'clock in the morning In November the end of November 2013 it was freezing cold. So I was wearing a set of long john pants underneath my my trousers We ended up in a troops in contact situation. I took a knee my pants split crotch to ankle and it's because I was wearing that Under layer so those pants are just they were not good enough Anyway, which is lame, but then it limited me from wearing more layers. Now. The heat is Tough it sucks to be out there and burning hot running around Thirsty dehydrated heat casualties happening, but there is one thing you can do in the heat that you just cannot do in the cold And this is why the heat superior you can get wet in the heat. You can dump a bottle of water on your head You're gonna be fine in the cold the same situation. You're gonna die So that's why in the military heat is superior to cold for that one reason you can get wet in the heat and in the cold That's a serious situation. So that's my answer on that and I would love to hear what you guys think about it. Let me know"
