Trying to hard to sound "tactical English" Greetings to all in this apparent thread.

As a veteran of two tours of combat (Vietnam and the Gulf War) -- along with extensive regional experience as an advisor and trainer of Arab counterparts forces and schools in the Gulf region, Egypt, Sudan and Jordan -- may I advise that the original writers of the script -- for which Einass is commendably, and admirably, trying to translate into equivalent Arabic renditions that make sense to Arabic readerships/audiences/viewers -- are trying far too hard to sound believable with that prolific use of utterances in "tactical U.S. military English" slang.

IMPO, much better and more effective to use renditions into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) which literate style would fit usages of such technical terms in common use in the military / paramilitary forces of the MENA region.

Such slang in L1 is very hard to render into L2 terms which make sense.

HTH. Khair, bidhin Allah.
