Military Definitions - W

A to Z Blogging Challenge.  My topic is MILITARY DEFINITIONS.


W – Whiskey
morse code – dot dash dash


War - sustained use of armed force between nations or organized groups within a nation.  A series of connected battles and campaigns to achieve vital national objectives. War may be limited, or it may be general with the total resources of a nation or nations employed and the national survival of a belligerent at stake.

War reserves — stocks of materiel accumulated in peacetime to meet the increase in military requirements upon an outbreak of war.

Weapons of mass destruction — weapons that are capable of a high order of destruction and/or to destroy large numbers of people, including explosives or nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological weapons.

  2. So which came first, the movie or the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot expression? Because it seems like it takes a long time to show you're surprised if you have to stop everyone and say "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?" It's almost anti-climactic by the time you get all finished!

    1. I'm sure the expression came first. And like was mentioned on an earlier day this month, people use the expression so they can cuss without upsetting their mother =)
