That's always been my understanding 'Roos. I am sure it is used otherwise at times, but it is definitely a GI term for NVA. I had a Vietnam vet ex step father who explained that to me once. Also, we have an extremely large Vietnamese-American population in Wichita and I have never heard that word in public.
Whether using the term disqualifies one from office is up to each individual.
I just would like to know why his explanation is viewed as weak given what the guy went through.
