DOD DICTIONARY OF MILITARY TERMS
The Pentagon has reissued its Dictionary of Military and Associated
Terms, featuring 736 pages of definitions updated through March 23, 2004. The Dictionary includes a limited amount of intelligence terminology, but no military slang. "Snafu" or "fubar" or similar indispensable words are not to be found. See Joint Publication 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms (1.8 MB PDF file): http://www.fas.org/irp/doddir/dod/jp1_02.pdf Also, while downloading the dictionary, you will be able to automatically update for free your Adobe Reader to the current 6.02 version, or you can choose to update at a later time if you prefer.

Many in the US military indeed DO have a limited amount intelligence, so it would seem appropriate that the terminology used is adapted to this reality. Slang would just befuddle these would-be torturers. It was best left out. mike |

Since that qualifies him as a troll I have hereby exercise my PLONK privileges. Troll post included so that others can PLONK me if they see it differently.

I'm hoping that you are in no way connected with the Canadian Military. The purpose of the original post was to be of some assistance to those who monitor the military via the radio.

I wasn't sure if we HAD a military. Things haven't been the same since certain corrupt interests managed to scrap the Avro Arrow project. Then there was the Bras D'Or hydrofoil fiasco. Then the refitting of the Bonaventure. On and On.... mike |

Of course, perhaps you have to be around the military most of your life, and have worked in military intelligence, to really get the humor of it. The "would-be torturers" part was a little over the top, but, since it did happen, that impression is something the military will have to deal with for some time. Stewart |

Don't look now but you are too stupid for words. Then how did you manage to string a few of them together, 'tard? As you've proven with your answer, you can hardly form a sentence yourself. Attempting to correct someone else when your own grasp of the English language is severely limited reinforces my opinion that you are too stupid for words. I repeat, Don't look now but you are too stupid for words. I'm hoping that you are in no way connected with the Canadian Military.
