When I use the term....I mean it as a euphemism for any and all men who man the trenches, and I mean it with the utmost respect.
There was a line in a movie where someone calls a marine a grunt, and then says "no offense meant", and the marine looks him straight back and says "none taken".
As maligned as they have been, they played hard and well...
and deserve the compliment I was intending.
