My Pendraken WW2 are labelled
Itty Bitty Nazis
Teenie Weenie Commies
Tiny Tommies

What to call the US forces?

What about other periods?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

My US forces are labelled Septics, for obvious reasons.

'Forward observers'  (Let the artillery do it).

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Mini GI joes
If you did the 36th inf. division then they could be "tiny Texans"
"Over here, over paid, and under sized"
Ike's tykes
If they are the 1st inf. division then they could be "the 'little' red one"

That's all I got.

Is "Ike's Imps" a runner-up?

It doesn't match the other names though..

You need the adjective before the name.

Pixie Pattons, maybe.. but the word Pixie in the same sentence with Patton is making him spin..



SLAP!
