An ex-Marine friend of mine called them 'Suck Mugs.' War always brings nasty nicknames for the enemy at the time. Like 'Japs' or 'Krauts' or 'Ruskies' The vc were also called 'Slopes.' 'Dinks' seem to be the enemy of civilization.
How else do you win wars without dehumanizing the enemy? Now we just do the politically-correct thing and sympathize with them.
