1 That’s Kraut for needle in the haystack.
2 Have you ever noticed that the fucking State Department has the habit of almost always taking the other guy’s side whenever there’s an international dispute? It has occurred to me to ask who the fuck these pin-striped fudge-cutting cookie-pushing bureaucrats work for. The answer, of course, is that they work for you and me—the citizens of the United States. But don’t tell them that—most of our professional diplomats get upset if you require them to stand up for America.
3 Very Slender Vessel, which is a fancy way of talking about the kind of highspeed cigarette boats favored by drug smugglers and other stealthy types.
4 As you can probably guess, it stands for Tango-In-Question
5 East German secret police.
6 Though a great boon, the Internet is making the tracking of tangos much more difficult, as it is almost impossible to intercept encrypted E-mail and other postings. Note, however, that I said almost impossible. Our alphabet-soup agencies have developed certain proficiencies in recent years that keep ’em half a step ahead of the bad guys. Half a step may not be a lot—but it’s enough.
7 ELectronic INTelligence/TECHnical INTelligence/SIGnals INTelligence.
8 Lower Than Whale Shit
9 Now, as I’ve said in the past, Charlie wasn’t literally my shipmate, meaning that he and I had served in the same ship together. But Charlie and I worked together; we were friends and colleagues; we stood back to back and fought the powers that be to make things better for our men—and kill as many of our nation’s enemies as we could. So far as I am concerned, that makes him my shipmate.
10 Oops. I think that the Lacrosse/Crystal/Flagpole designator is still compartmented information. In civilian-speak, that means it’s Top Fucking Secret. Do me a favor: please cut this entire page out of the book, shred it, then send the shreds back to the publisher as evidence you’ve complied. Otherwise, the fucking Feds are probably going to come after my Roguish ass for giving away the nation’s secrets.
11 Rules Of Engagement
12 That’s to be expected. This administration, after all, is the one in which a highly paid Pentagon consultant told the secretary of the Army that the military is too “manly” and demanded that in the future, training should not accentuate such “manly” attitudes as aggressiveness and combat skills, but instead pattern Army training after such organizations as religious orders and Alcoholics Anonymous. That way, the consultant wrote, “the Army will achieve the desirable goal of becoming non-violent, less sexist, and ungendered.” What is most unbelievable about all this unmitigated horseshit, is that the fucking secretary of the Army actually accepted the criticism without comment.
13 That’s how SEALs refer to a Ph.D.
14 Kraut for dead as a doornail.
15 United States Government Issue
16 The acronym stands for UNless Otherwise DIRected, and it’s how I prefer to operate when I’m surrounded by can’t cunts.
17 That’s Russkie for a crime lord.
18 United States Government-Inspected. Yes, I know last time I used this acronym it stood for U.S. Government Issue, but that’s the way things go.
19 Mafiya godfather
20 Criminal hackers
21 It’s Kraut for tiny.
22 American Express card
23 Naval Intelligence Liaison Officer
24 That’s a rendezvous in Deutsch.
