that is partially correct, however the meaning of support our troops comes from the WWII era, the government divised that term to get people to buy war bonds to pay for support. in modern times, people buy the "support our troops" ribbon to place on thier vehicles to show support, the funds aquired from sales went to "MWR" or "Morale Welfare and Recreation"

MWR is a non-profit organization that provides various benefits for our troops.
Things they've done:

- Built Internet connections for recreation and communication for our troop abroad
- Santa propelled from a blackhawk on christmas and passed our gifts(i.e. shaving kits, hygeine products, beef jerky etc...)
- Placed phone on nearly every base in iraq and afghanistan link to DNS(Defense Switchboard Network)
- Provide cash to NMCRS for troops to fly free for emergency leave.
- Paid for civilian employees to preform tasks such as councling, homeland liazon, and professional chefs to give our troop nice warm meals.

Remember, a happy soldier is more effective at killing than a deppressed soldier.

Re: Euphanisms

No Support Our Troops comes from the Gulf War era, 1991, to remind people not to shame our country the way they did in Vietnam, spitting on retruning vets and calling them babykiller.

in ww2 they sold war bonds with the slogan "Buy War Bonds" or "Make Hell for Hitler"

Re: Euphanisms

***Interrogation and torture***

1. The Attention Grab: The interrogator forcefully grabs the shirt front of the prisoner and shakes him.

2. Attention Slap: An open-handed slap aimed at causing pain and triggering fear.

3. The Belly Slap: A hard open-handed slap to the stomach. The aim is to cause pain, but not internal injury. Doctors consulted advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage.

4. Long Time Standing: This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions.

5. The Cold Cell: The prisoner is left to stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees. Throughout the time in the cell the prisoner is doused with cold water.

6. Water Boarding: The prisoner is bound to an inclined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Cellophane is wrapped over the prisoner

Re: Euphanisms

i've been through it, as a part of training on how not to break under interrogation.
as my instructor always said we (the military) live in communism so that our country can be free.

"Department of Defense" - Department of War

instead of the above i think its more power to say

"Department of Defense" - Department of Offense

good point, it's true, however "war" contains both offense and defense.

Re: Euphanisms

The political forum: Place for no-lifes to troll and confirm their disapproval of people with a different opinion.
The forum rules:
"Everyone is entitled to their own view and opinion on world events."- Nobody is listening to another.
"Here on the politics forum there will be little censorship (if any at all) of the threads and debates started by individuals."-there are few mods and those are lazy
"This may mean that some threads can cause offence and so player discretion is advised."-We don't want to lose anymore players, IC is already poorly populated these days.
"Swear words however are still illegal on this board and will be edited."-We can still censor but only if we want to.
"A copy of the forum rules can be found here: http://www.imperialconflict.com/explain

CHALLENGE:
See if you can find a word for [brown stuff that comes out of your anus] that is not an euphemism OR a swear word.
