I never thought 'political correctness' would be mandatory here at GB's. But I guess mincing of terms is now the norm everywhere you go.

I don't think Magooch was asking you to change your terminology, nor was I.
He just indicated that the terms aggravated him and gave a reason why. I simply questioned why he was chided sarcastically.
You are welcome to return to your normal political incorrectness.
But, since fighting and maybe dying as a soldier as opposed to being someone's boy or girl, is pretty well irrelevant, meaning WAR does not care who you are when you fight or die, why not give them the honor they deserve and not use them as a medium to ellicit a subjective response?
Otherwise, you might as well call veterans "that old guy". That'll get some sort of subjective response too, I'm sure.
I realize there's a lot of opinions here, just curious how often anyone spends time trying to see things from someone else's view, BEFORE they flame them?
Words of wisdom from "that old guy".
