(No offence to anyone, but like alot of specialists, military types
don't
really speak English - they speak a dialect, vaguely related to English.
Rumour has it that some specialists are actually bilingual, speaking
both
English and their specialist dialect, but most at best use a sort of
pidgin English/specialist-speak hybrid...:>)

(And of course we wargamers have a dialect..so what happens when you mix
military & wargame dialect in the same person? :>)
