While I am at it, I will mention to them the similarly absurd “Meals Ready to Eat”. Surely they will agree to change that to the much more sensible “Ready to Eat Meals”. Or maybe not, eh! Don’t try telling me that because something has long standing in the military that it is sensible. Just because pig-headed bureaucrats refuse to do what is right, that doesn’t make it wrong.
Military nomenclature makes sense. It goes from the general to the specific. Rifle, M16, Truck, Cargo, 2 1/2 ton, M35A1, and so on.
Biological classification works the same way.
