I really hate the terms, “Warfighter” and “Warfighting”.
They have such a commie politically correct sound to them. It like someone was afraid to use the term soldier or military.

“Warfighter” and “Warfighting” - They have such a commie politically correct sound to them.

I suspect these words were made up to help people make presentations, but they are not disguised euphemisms made popular by politically-sensistive-techno-militarists (e.g. "collateral damage"). Words like "battle" and "combat" are apparently no longer sufficient to describe all the different kinds of trouble that can happen to our guys, btw who are not only guys, and in fact some may not even classify as Marines/Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen ( which ones did I leave out?).
