Talk:Legs

The U.S. Army term "legs" (plural) refer to soldiers who are not paratroopers. A soldier who is not a certified paratrooper is considered a "straight leg," (LEG for short) because in WWII only paratroopers had jump boots, and they would blouse their pant leg over the top portion of their boots, where as non paratroopers pant legs retained their straight full length design. The term straight leg or leg was, and still is a disparaging remark because of the superior training of the Airborne paratroopers. 18:22, August 13, 2015 (UTC) Cpl.Andy Villov 08/13/15 2:21 pm
