DARPA Wants to Modify Warfighters' Red Blood Cells to Operate in Dangerous Environments More Effectively
Do they mean "soldiers"?
They’ve been calling them warfighters since the 80s.
The vast majority of soldiers don't fight.
What if they're marines? Have you ever tried calling a marine a soldier to their face? I don't recommend it.
As a civilian, I'd hope they'd show some understanding that we don't give two fucks about their petty distinctions.
Also: I have family in multiple branches, so I know the difference, and fuck any of them who take an attitude with me over it.
In my experience "soldier" is fine. Just don't call a Marine a Sailor.
One time, I was trying to motivate a retired marine friend of mine who was being lazy by saying "on your feet, soldier!" as a reference to Terminator, myself being ignorant of the difference.
Credit where it's due: it got him on his feet.
