That's... mildly hilarious. That whole tumblr is perhaps the sole justification I've seen for tumblr existing outside of one or two comics.

Edit: Honestly, I'm kind of annoyed YouTube doesn't have a player option for portrait videos yet, where it doesn't just jam it in the middle of a landscape video player.

The film maker in me is very annoyed at this idea.

I had to google SAPI. What sort of humourless droid selected that as an acronym for a piece of armour plate?

The military is overly fond of acronyms, often painfully so.

Grognard · « **Reply #420 on:** 26 Sep 2013, 19:21 »

But when they create extended terminology, it gets worse...

"vertical envelopment" = parachute drop
"target rich environment" = we're surrounded and/or heavily outnumbered
"inadvertent collateral damage" = we B-52'd the entire village.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #421 on:** 26 Sep 2013, 19:22 »

I'd imagine when they give something a name and it's exactly what it says on the tin, that's when you start worrying.

Grognard · « **Reply #422 on:** 26 Sep 2013, 19:29 »

umm.. that is when I'd buy a lotto ticket.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #423 on:** 26 Sep 2013, 19:31 »

Vertical envelopment involves helicopters, not parachutes.

for me

Grognard · « **Reply #425 on:** 26 Sep 2013, 19:35 »

*nitpick*
it can be either. Nowadays, it is usually by helicopter... but:
"A tactical maneuver in which troops, either air-dropped (parachute) or air-landed (helicopter), attack the rear and flanks of a force, in effect cutting off or encircling the force."

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #426 on:** 26 Sep 2013, 19:40 »

The term "Airborne Assault" is the correct one for parachuting attacks.

Vertical envelopment is DIRECTLY linked to heliborne assault per the original document on heliborne assault Marine Corps manual Phib-31. That definition from the free dictionary is also shaky at best Grog.

(slow day at work)

Was listening to a discussion between co-workers (all multiple deployment vets)
Vet A: we lit up that haji with the '249...
Vet B: too easy: we took out the house with a Dragon...
Vet C: we were taking a shitton of fire, so we called in CAS and B-52'd the entire village.
-stunned silence-
ME: that is the first time I've ever heard of B-52 used as a VERB.

I know this is not what Vet B meant.. but this is what I thought:

I lived in MN for the first 18 years of my life, and I never once saw a tornado. Yeah, I know we get them, but I never saw one. Hell, I lived in CA for only three years and I got to experience an earthquake (even if it was only a 4.0).
