Leg
Noun;
Non Airborne personnel who many times justify their unwillingness to put their "knees in the breeze" by saying things like, "When was the last time you jumped into combat?" and "Airborne isn't necessary anymore"
However, Paratroops shouldn't be discouraged. These Legs were never held to the highest standard and thrived. Legs, in general, would never face their fears voluntarily because deep down, they are cowards that will only do the bare minimun in life.
Not all Legs are flawed. Many are nearly as good as an Airborne soldier(minus the wings.) These Legs work hard and don't hide their inadeqaecies by pointing their fingers at others. Paratroopers only call these men and women Legs with playful intent.

LEG
-n.-
Term with origins within the United States Army, particularly the corps of paratroopers, used as a derisive term towards non-airborne qualified soldiers. Literally an acronym, meaning any of the following:
Lesser Effective Ground Trooper, Low Energy Groundpounder. alternate spelling: LEGG, i.e., Low Energy Ground Ground.

Leg
Soldiers, sailors, marines who's primary methods of infils and extractions during combat operations include only ground manuevers are referred to as "legs" by EVERYONE using helos or fixed wing. IE: Special operations.
Any regular military unit is considered a leg unit by the personnel in SOCOM, USASOC, and JSOC. "Grunts"/regular infantry, five jump chumps, anyone training to conduct in airborne ops in garrison but never perform them in combat, and all POG 's are defined as Legs. It is as much a mindset as it is a status.

The 82nd Airborne (AKA: Eighty Douche) takes pride on jumping as much as possible, wearing pink berets, blasting Van Halen's song "jump" around post, but NEVER perform airborne or helo ops in combat. This makes them epic posers, puts them in the Leg category, and earned them the title "The airplane gang".
Many service members attend airborne school, thinking being "airborne qualified" will impress others. They then report to a leg unit who has nothing to do with airborne ops and never jump again, making them a "five jump chump" and a leg.
Special operations loath legs.
