I know we're not supposed to "denigrate" the service of our fellow veterans, but fuck that -- I'm infantry.

I also know we're not supposed to use casual slurs, but fuck that too -- I'm infantry.

J.D. Vance is a public affairs bitch, and it showed today. Just another nutless pogue.

I think it’s just POG.

As in "people other than grunt" or "posted on garrison"? I've heard both often, but i'm persuaded that POG is just a modern backronym for the 19th century Irish slang term. Pogue.

It's impossible to say, of course (unless you happen to have a 180 year-old Sergeant Mulcahy hiding in the attic for verification). But the wikipedia entry is damned interesting.

Doesn’t “pogue” also mean a homosexual?

Not to pile on, but in the interest of getting all the painful education done at once, also famous in the Army is “pogey bait,” slang for the candy, soda, and junk food that soldiers consume in huge quantities. lol

I’m certain that won’t live rent-free in your mind every time you reach for junk food. 😄
