What does infantry have to do with infants anyway
@starkatt ah, so it was like the army-training-person derogatory-motivational-talk thing? "get moving, babies!"
@Felthry Yeah sorta. The latin was "infans" for "youth".
@Felthry but it was more like just "hey look at all these youngins joining the ranks."
@Felthry oh shit I learned this once, the two words are legit etymologically related.
Something something to do with roman soldiers starting as untrained novices.
