LOL, I'd never heard of the duffelblog before, but this should have been at least a warning flag for Gizmodo:
The IMBTB has a sharp edge designed for quick chopping motions, a medium sized handle for effective manipulation, and a head which can be unscrewed for storage. Military officials have said that the IMBTB will initially be stocked with five matches, a small compass, maps, and two gallons of pressurized JP-8 fuel.

and dude appologizes

Aaaaaand I was wrong. As reader Leah tells me, the Duffelblog is the equivalent of the Onion in the military. The problem with the US military is that sometimes their contraptions get so wacky that I can believe anything they say. My mistake, people. Sorry about that.
