Talk:rear gunner

rear gunner
I have never heard it used as someone defending an organisation. Conrad.Irwin 09:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Neither have I. The nearest was something like "We were fighting a rear-guard action" used in a non-military sense.--Dmol 13:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * tail gunner is slightly more common, so I created an entry for it with the RfVd sense. I think it is a colloquial sense that has less and less currency with the death of the WWII generation and the departure of their children from the workplace. DCDuring 15:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I misread the definition. The sense given should read somewhat more generally as someone who defends the organization from attackers. "Insults" are just one kind of weapon. I will take a run at a better sense at tail gunner. DCDuring 15:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
