American (Army) to English Dictionary

Okay, it's a bit of a 6-trick (and counting) pony, but how often do they seem to alter the meaning of words just to fit their arguments?

They call it... Everyone else calls it:-

Enemy Combatant: POW
Legal Weapon: Illegal Weapon
Unpatriotic: Liberal
Not Classified as a Chemical Weapon: Chemical Weapon
Collateral Damage: Killing people on your own side
Acceptable Target: Civilian
Geneva Convention: A jokebook.
Enhanced interrogation: Torture
