VETTV Military Slang Dictionary

This book is proof that military members know how to pick up a book!
There are many books about the U.S. military that'll talk about the honorable actions our service members make, in an effort to reflect the strong sense of pride that comes with serving one's country. They can paint a pretty good picture about life in the military, but this book doesn’t sugarcoat shit. Strap up, because it’s going to feel like basic training all over again!
Did you know SNAFU translates to situation normal, all fucked up? Or that HMFIC (my personal favorite) refers to the head motherfucker in charge? In this book, you'll find over 2,500 definitions that are commonly used in the armed forces. Can't read? No problem. Someone at the VA can read to you (if there's funding)!
Learn the language of the real American soldiers, who, despite common perception, are usually a bored, hormone-charged 19-year-old looking for something more exciting in life. So they join the best military on the planet, fall in love with freedom, bacon, and whiskey in the process, and now live with the intent to kill, blow up, and fuck everything in sight (not necessarily in that order).
We’ve got your six! Check it out for yourself by ordering this book today.
Disclaimer: While these are the words that veterans and active-duty military may know and understand, VET Tv does not endorse the actual use of them, especially outside of the context of war. It's important to understand that when your job is to take another person's life, your mentality and your language change in order to dehumanize the enemy and make light of the unfathomable experiences of war. Bottom line, this is a documentation of reality, not a recommendation to use any of these terms at the dinner table.
