I shouldn't be posting right now cause I need to be doing other things.. BUT.. I just thought it was really interesting.. I'm working on a movie about militia and revolution and stuff like that.. And.. I was downloading a clip which in it's title had a typo and instead of infantry, it said.. "infatry" and I was like.. "Haha" in"fat"ry.. That's a funny typo.. BUT.. Then I was like.. Wait a second.. "INFANTRY"? "INFANT-RY"?
INFANT.. Like a child.. And then I looked up the etymology of infant and my quick search says it means.. "unable to speak".. So.. That is pretty powerful.. The name infantry is sort of connected to children and as being "unable to speak".. This reminds me of other etymology or play on words in regards to some military terms.
For example.. Soldier.. Some take that to mean.. SOUL Dier, or SUN Dier.. Sol means soul or sun and the dier is sort of explanatory, another one is the "dog tags" military are issued.. Some think this was worded this way because the elite consider the military their "pets"... And there's a quote from Kissinger that I can't prove but it looks like it is probably legit where he is quoted as saying something like.. "The military are dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy".
And numerous others in the occult world including Mark Passio have claimed that the elite hate the military and police the most and that's why they treat them like dogs and the tools to be used to kill and be sacrificed.
So.. I need to get to my obligations, but I wanted to share that real quick. An interesting find indeed to add to the list of weird language used to refer to troops.. Makes me curious to learn what the other names mean as well, like.. "troops".. Maybe when I get some more time I can go through more of the military branches and see what these words mean etymologically.
ANYWAYS.. Gotta go! Peace and talk to you later peoples.
