Oh that's hilarious. My squad had that exact same conversation in Kuwait during the first Gulf War.
Coke, soda, pop .... just a few of the dialect terms for carbonated sweet beverages. :)
Verbal 'tells' to spot the Texan: "I have a Coke, make it a Dr Pepper"
"fixin' to"
"y'all"

Yup. You hit the nail on the head. I’m a Minnesota gal who happens to be married to a Texan who was transplanted here. And yes, after nearly 15 years of marriage he still calls me a “yankee!” :-)

What unit? I was with Charlie Company, 2nd LAI Battalion, 2nd Marine Division!
We went through the berm near the Al Walfrah oil fields. We played cat & mouse and ran reconnaissance along the Kuwaiti border for three days before the ground war even started!
