[at-l] FUBAR
For what it is worth -- when I was in the Marine Corp, FUBAR was (and may
still be) a often used acronym. Its most common use was to describe bad
situation two levels worst than SNAFU; i.e., F----- Up Beyond All
Recognition. We also applied it to an extreme alcoholic or other out of
control person -- in which case the "R" was sometimes translated as
"Reason", "Redemption", etc.
So, when I saw this exchange, I could not help wonder if this meaning was
intended when he picked FUBAR as a trail name and, if so, why. Hopefully,
the acronym has not morph into some folk thinking that the "R" meaning
"Responsibility"
That said, drunk, or not; there is no excuse for such behavior.
