Ok, we have to have a new name for this. After I complained about LEO using our terms, seems I went I did it myself.
Suggestions?

At this writing I propose you stick with Monkey Stomping, it's yours, you own it. The term is too descriptive. Besides, I just named my 100 lb. forging hammer machine "The Monkey Stomper" during one of those rare inspired moments of brilliance where no alcohol was involved.

I thought the term was generic enough to use, but apparently its not. 'Sides, I haven't heard of any primates in our current theater of operations.

NEW TERM???
Here is the best replacement for Monkey Stomping I can come up with today but first, credit where credit is due, you have to hear the story on how I got it. Last August we got up on top of Steens Mountain (Orygun) on the east rim overlook at the head of the Kiger Gorge. This is where you can look down between your toes and see the Alvord Desert 6000 ft below. My buddies had just spotted 4 bighorn sheep rams starting to bed down to get out of the days heat. While we took turns watching them thru the spotting scope One of my friends pointed to an impossible hanging rock ledge way down there and told me "That's where Roger let the air out of one". He was talking about the trophy ram my other friend who was there had taken some years ago. I like that term, "Let the air out."

I said "STOMP", nothing to do with "Monkey."
Now they are saying I threatened too "KILL" the monkey looking like motherfucker, when all I said..."If we get hit and we have to E&E to the Green Zone...I will stomp your short ass into the ground."
Sometimes I wonder...if people want to win this GWOT or do business?

We were talking about monkeys, NOT midgets, Guy!
If you had to hit the streets, put him on point, unarmed, and tell him to pick up a double time.

Sir:
I don't discriminate however...midget or monkey...it's the same damn thing when comes to a combat zone.
As far as him walking point, unarmed and double timing...
Every fucking news crew in country would have the cameras on him. I know if I was a cameraman...I would!
DISCLAIMER:
I have nothing against short people however, if you can't shoot over a car and you have never been operational in a foriegn country (working for FEDEX don't count)...then you should'nt be making tactical decisions!
