Spacetrucker, you are mistaken in this case...

Haji - is commonly used Iraq/Afghanistan war slang...Haji was also Johnny Quest's sidekick...

# haji :
1: Arabic word for someone who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca;

2: used by the American military for an Iraqi, anyone of arab decent, or even of a brownish skin tone, be they afghanis, or even bangladeshis;

3: the word many soldiers use derogatorily for the enemy.

# haji armor : improvised armor, installed by troops hiring Iraqis to update the vehicles by welding any available metal to the sides of Humvees
# haji mart : any small store operated by Iraqis to sell small items to Americans.
# haji patrol : 1: escort detail;
2: Local National unit is also referred to as the Haji patrol, with all the projects that are being performed by the local nationals.
# haji shop : even the smallest base has some form of what soldiers call a "haji shop" or, in more politically correct terms, a shop run by locals. Frequently near the PX, the "Haji" shop would sell everything from cigarettes to knockoff sunglasses to pirated DVDs.
