Category talk:Military slang and jargon

Ladies and Gentlemen ... Is there any reason why "Firepower Kill," "Catastrophic Kill," and "Jack-In-The-Box Effect" are filed in this "Category" page under the letter "M"? I have attempted to locate the listing in "edit" but cannot find it. Am I blind, or are category pages restricted in edit? F117-A 08:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Why isnt the term "Sea Daddy" filed in this catergory? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.231.128.67 (talk) 03:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Military slang acronyms

There are a handful of articles on Military slang acronyms, such as SNAFU and FUBAR. While I think there is value here, I also thing the articles on the individual terms run afoul of WP:DICT, and just up up collecting WP:TRIVIA example cruft. So, I propose merging them all info a Military slang acronyms. I think that's more in-line with Wikipedia's goal of being an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. We can treat this recurring phenomenon as a whole. Thoughts? Objections? —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 20:17, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Isn't this what the List of government and military acronyms is for? Hamtechperson 03:34, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Maybe that's the right thing to do. But there does seem to be information beyond simple expansion (which is what that list is about) in some of these pages -- history and background stuff, like about "Private Snafu". Not the list-of-every-pop-culture-use-ever stuff, just historical perspective. I'm not sure that should be discarded. What do you/others think? —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 05:25, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
