My grandfather was an aviator in the pacific, and every year he and some of his old flying buddies get together and have lunch then play golf. This year my grandfather invited me to join them. During the conversation the repeatedly refered to various infantrymen they knew as "arthur millers". Later I asked my grandfather what it meant, and he said it was just an old ww2 phrase, and seemed hesitant to say more. Anyone heard this phrase before, and if so where does it come from and what does it mean?
I asked some buddies of mine who do GI as well. One had this idea. Maybe a put down from airmen to GIs - "Okay, just guessing here, as I have not heard this before. But, "Arthur Miller" founded some dance schools around the country. Light of foot in dancing or, gay?"
Doc--I think your 2nd guess is most likely the correct one. Just an opinion though and yup--i've heard of the dance schools and they are still in business. There was one located here in CC-land not long ago.
