#2  'Gunnies' is a long-used term for gunsels or gun-slingers here at Rantburg. Most readers are smart enough to know the difference.

#1  Editorial Note:

The use of "gunney" or "gunnies" in an headline would tend to lead the reader to believe that a non-commissioned officer belonging to the Marine Corps was involved in the ensuing exposition.

Semper Fi.
