[edit] EGA vs. Eagle, Globe, and Anchor

Why was the section on the EGA vs. Eagle, Globe, and Anchor removed? I'm looking for something to cite that fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.246.231 (talk) 19:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

There are those who really object to its use, I suppose, as an unnecessary and unapproved acronym. There wasn't a reliable source for it, IIRC. I don't care for it, but in this day of texting replacing English I can sigh and accept it. Just as I can accept "Turkey, Ball, and Hook" and "Chicken, Ball, and Chain" in slang speech from a fellow jarhead, but I'll frown at those usages by non-Marines. htom (talk) 17:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
