Place to buy a woobie?

[CS1983]

so did Mr. Mom get the term woobie from the Army, or the other way around?

My guess would be the popular culture brought it into the Army.

possible scenario:

"Sergeant, I forgot my poncho liner! What am I gonna do?!"

(Sergeant, who was mentored by hardcore Vietnam vets), "Awww, whatsamatta pwivate, you miss your woobie?"

Platoon starts using term, guys PCS... eventually, "woobie".

The next thing you know you're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket or maybe a quilt.

What a great movie.
