    Servicemembers, former and present, speak the same lingo, and have similar experiences. There's a disconnect in the language that just can't be overcome at times if you haven't been there.
    Then why don't you guys take this talk to a medium that doesn't restrict portions of your message?


    Where there is no disconnect?

    Where your message isn't garbled?

    The disconnect is largely created by the difference between "soldier talk" and the language the rest of the populace of the US speaks.

    The subject was brought up on this forum, and WAS being discussed in a civil manner................

    When soldiers talk about doing stupid things, it has a different meaning.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
