{"product_id":"military-expressions-seth-blanken-9798195681494","title":"Military Expressions: The Language Behind the Uniform","description":"\u003cb\u003eWar has always had its own language, not just formal commands and official reports but also the raw, unfiltered expressions born in moments of pressure, uncertainty, and survival. Military Expressions explores that unique language, focusing on the phrases forged by those who have served across generations and conflicts, from the United States Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve to the Army, Army National Guard, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Air National Guard. These branches played vital roles in major conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War (Desert Storm), and the War on Terror. The expressions that emerged, whether sharp, sarcastic, or darkly humorous, carry meanings that go far beyond their literal words, each one rooted in real experiences, traditions, and the evolving nature of warfare.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book breaks down the meaning, origin, and evolution of these expressions, revealing how service members communicate, cope, and build camaraderie in even the most intense situations. Paired with bold black-and-white comic-style imagery, each phrase is brought to life visually, capturing not just what is said but what is felt. More than a simple collection of terms, Military Expressions honors the people behind the uniform and the enduring language they created: a language shaped by challenge, connection, and the reality of the mission.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth Blanken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798195681494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Seth Blanken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801475756287,"sku":"9798195681494","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/military-expressions-seth-blanken-9798195681494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
