A term, created on 13 March 2025 for the military community, describing the act of excessively or insincerely agreeing with or supporting a senior leader's ideas or decisions, regardless of how flawed, impractical, or misguided they may be, in order to gain favor, avoid conflict, or advance one’s own standing. Often involves exaggerated praise, unquestioning acceptance, and the deliberate suppression of critical thought to align with higher-ranking authority.
