I'm currently on page 280 of this thread, but I had question concerning the origin of the code names both in the real world an continuity wise.
Some of the code names are no brainers. For example an infantry trooper code named Grunt, a red head named Scarlett, or a bazooka trooper named Zap.
On some of the characters I'm guessing that Hama had some of the back story figured out before the code name. My guess is that maybe this might of happened with Ace, Snowjob, and Short Fuze.
Some code names are complete mysteries to me, like Hawk's, Grand Slam's, Flint's and Duke's.
I'm guessing that Duke's code name maybe in homage to John Wayne. Roadblock's is due to his size, but Flint would the story behind his code name or did it just sound cool to have a character named Flint?
