[TML] an interesting story somewhat related to this thing we do

[alan hume]

>There are several military references where it>>is used to>mean standing up against enemy fire and firing back, which is>>the meaning you remember. 

I never knew that at all, I thought that you meant something like the 18th or 19th century at first when you said that, standing up in the face of enemy fire to deliver a volley seems really, really dangerous in terms of twentieth century warfare (on which I am not qualified to speak) thus I thought it was something from the Napoleonic or Horse and Musket era.

Was this a term from WW2?
