    Back in the 80's in Germany, we would take a poncho liner (woobie) and have it sewn into the issued wet weather top to make what we referred to as a "Graf jacket". Precursor to the wet weather gear issued in the 90's and beyond. It was warm and kept us dry! Woobies had a lot of uses!

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    My guess would be the popular culture brought it into the Army.

    possible scenario:

    "Sergeant, I forgot my poncho liner! What am I gonna do?!"

    (Sergeant, who was mentored by hardcore Vietnam vets), "Awww, whatsamatta pwivate, you miss your woobie?"

    Platoon starts using term, guys PCS... eventually, "woobie".

    The next thing you know you're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket or maybe a quilt.

    What a great movie.
