Yep. And I was a dogface, Marines were jarheads, and sailors were swabbies. Civilians may not understand it, but most of said these things lovingly.

The uncomplitary terms used in war are carried over to civilian life and stays with us. Down through the ages in wars there have been and always will be name created for the enemy.  As was posted before you are not fighting the dearly beloved North  Koreans. You make up a name and it sticks till the warriors and their Kids die out. The name are meant to low rate the persons or persons you are comming against.  It is true now and always will be.  I would imagine the men in Afganistan have their name for their enemy. Down the road some milktoast will take exception to what they are being called.
