A couple of questions, please. I've read in some of your posts and others the term "klick". I'm assuming that is a military term. What does it mean?

I was just going to ask the very same question. Besides in one of the captions above, I heard a retired U.S. military general use that term tonight on Greta's show on the Fox News Channel.

I believe klicks/clicks were first used in WWII. They were behind enemy lines and used them to identify who was friend and who was foe in the dark. A small noisemaker with a distinctive sound. Paratroopers used them I think.

I believe a klick is now a certain distance but I'm not sure how far. The term was used in Vietnam a lot. Might possibly be the distance you could hear the klick. I don't know if they used anything like that for identification in Vietnam.
