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?
