Was anyone actually offended by being referred to as any of these things?
When i was at Bragg an official memo came out starting the term "leg" was offensive and all non-airborne personnel would henceforth be referred to as "NAP". Now some people are offended by that term.

I think we are getting to comfortable utilizing the word offend. I hear it so often. I'm more of the type suck it up buttercup. These are common words in the military and if someone called me that I would simply smile. No, never have I been offended. Everyone is worried about this "offend" word. I hear people state that they are offended when they are called the new generation. Really? What kind of sensitive Army are we creating. How in the heck are we supposed to be the best yet many get butthurt for little to no reason at all.

People are starting to believe that if they throw the "I'm offended" flag that it automatically means they're right and the offender has done something wrong.

No. These are simply terms the infantry came up with for people that aren't persecuted for wearing their fleece in the cold. For you knuckle dragging non-believers, the fleece coat is like being hugged by chewbacca. <br>

I was tearing up over the Chewbacca reference, and then you took things "up-a-notch" and broke out the piece about the baby seals, in a word... priceless, well played LT, well played indeed! lol

If I could vote you up a hundred times for the Star Wars reference alone, I would!!!

Negative! I actually still refer to myself as a POG and tell everyone that I know I'm a POG. While the combat arms guys are telling deployment stories, I'll jump in sometimes and talk about some awesome shots I had with my M16 while playing Call of Duty. Just laugh it off!

SFC Deason, I prefer to reference my kill/death ratio utilizing the MK14 when rehashing COD war stories. :)
