THE PENTAGON — After coming under fire from offended social media users for tweeting about "chinks" in its spec ops' digital and physical armor, the Army recently released a list of other innocuous phrases it will eliminate from its lexicon in order not to inadvertently trigger an outrage addicted American public.
Lt. Col. Alayne Conway, an Army public affairs officer, said the service wanted to assure the public it wasn't trying to be offensive and is going out of its way to remain sensitive to a diverse online community.
"The Army not only wants to be America's battlefield warriors," said Conway. "This step will show our efforts to be social justice warriors as well."
