    I can just picture the situation where you are in a hostile enviroment, and you go to translate something, and Viva la Vida or you "shameful secret" The Chicken Dance comes out. Then everyone starts dancing.

    @discounteggroll: I drew my inspiration from a story told by "The Skipper" of Gilligans Island. He was on a plane and they landed, and something like a political coup was going on. This jeep drives up to the plane and guys come out w/guns. They start unloading the passengers, and they all stop when Alan Hale gets out and go "Skipper, Skipper" in broken english. He said the whole plane was treated very well after that.

    @Its off the Hizzle fo $hizzle My Dizzle: There's a reason why he calls them "war fighters" and "servicemembers" rather than soldiers.


    "Soldiers" to a civilian usually means anyone who fights in a war, which is why that would sound normal to you.


    However, the military is comprised of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, and referring to recipients of this device/broadcast as "soldiers" in a military context excludes the other branches.
