ACTUALLY...the term grunt does NOT originate from WW2 as a reference for untrained military personnel..it's a Marine Corps term for any infantry MOS due to the "grunt" made when infantry Marines would lift all their gear...throughout military history, the Marines have carried the heaviest loads into combat and have remained the most effective, intelligent, and brutal force. Marines are known for their ability to carry the most weight the longest distances...with all due respect, NO OTHER BRANCH CAN TOUCH THE MARINE CORPS...don't get mad...i said with all due respect!...and another thing POG is the correct spelling for a non-grunt...it's an acronym for Personnel Other than Grunts...

Grunts are U.S. Army soldiers. The word "Grunt" is used in a similer fashion to "Jarhead" for the Marine Corps.
In recent times, Grunt is used to refer to an Army soldier of the combat arms branches, being Infantry ("Grunt"), Armor ("Tanker"), and Cavalry Scout ("Girl Scout") although it is still understood to mean the Army in general.

In the Army it’s the 11 series Infantry , some 12 series, Combat Engineers, 13 series Field Artillery and 19 series Armored Armored Crewmen. Some 18 series Special Forces Operator, but they are too highly trained to be a grunt. In combat engineers if you carry detonation cord and a chainsaw or do road clearance you’re a grunt, if you drove a bulldozer or build schools you’re not a grunt. Young infantry noobs try to claim grunt for their own but old timers know it’s almost all combat arms. Army Aviators are combat Arms also, but while the job can be incredibly dangerous the frequency of hot showers and contracted chow available at airfields means no grunt for you. 19k Cavalry scout used to be Grunts when the army had Armored Cavalry Regiments , but since those were transformed into Cavalry in name only infantry regiments the cav scouts grunt status is up for review.
Tell those nasty grunts to take a shower before they come to the dining facility, sorry we closed 15 seconds ago you dirty grunts should learn to be cleaner. Stop hitting me with your big grunt fists.

"Oh man, so many grunts everywhere, I had to use all my grenades and they STILL weren't all dead"
"Those damn grunts, so annoying"
