On my Facebook sidebar, Sugar Mountain* wants me to open a story of how CRUDE slang used by WW2 military people was(no links to the enemy) Not going to the story, it's clickbait and social-credit fodder, but I WILL say this:
In WW2, soldiers, sailors and Marines were trusted to take the initiative, engage and kill their Axis enemies. In battle, and I've been there, when you HAVE time to speak, you use your time to communicate with your fellow troops. You develop a patois of acronyms, and the verbiage to support those. These words are not polite, they are short-cuts to another military person's experience. To apply today's TWISTED morality and political correctness to such battlefield slang is pointless, but it's also revealing:
It reveals the histrical ignorance of those who engage in this form of chicanery.
