http://www.wordnik.com/lists/historical-military-terms-of-interest.xml Many (if not all) of these terms were selected from A pocket dictionary, for military officers, containing a definition of all the tactical terms now in use, with other matter belonging to the art of war, &c. By H.M. Rose, brigade major and inspector in the militia of North Carolina. Raleigh: Printed at the Minerva Press, by Alexander Lucas., 1816. <br /> <br />Criteria for selection are admittedly vague. And I reserve the right to add more stuff later. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/sham-damn Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:45:29 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/sham-damn
