FOLKS? ARE WE KIDDING?
Latest PC word is sick

Has anybody noticed that we are "sending folks" into places like Basra or Baghdad? That we "killed some folks" in this place or that place. Folks? We are sending in troops armed to the teeth who's job it is to kill those other armed to the teeth troops; kill like in shoot, bomb, and strafe. We are killing other troops who are armed to the teeth whose sole purpose is to kill our troops.

It's another way of PRETENDING for the PC crowd who just can't stand the fact that we are in a WAR and the purpose of war, as somebody else always says, "is to kill people and break things". Even FOX is calling troops "folks".
