So it's Spamspeak for 'serviceman' then? ('Man' as in 'human', before the wimmin complain.....). 'tis rather a silly term
Hmm, so the US Department of Defense some four-five years ago starts using an admittedly 'silly' term designed to get all motivated about being engaged in a war when only a small proportion are actually on combat ops and they didn't consult BEagle about it.
I'm shocked and disappointed..................
Of course it doesn't appear in the Cambridge Dictionary either.
Neither did F-4, L-1011, C-17, and soon to be F-35, and yet one could/will find them in the area. Strange?
One wonders about the KC-45/whatever being featured there one day as well.
