Line 3:
''He's from Georgia, and he doesn't speak the language very well."''|'''[[Tom Lehrer]]''', It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier}}
Hailing from the [[Deep South]] of the continental United States, he's a stereotypical cigar-chompin' [[Good Ol' Boy]] who thinks shootin' and [[Stuff Blowing Up|blowin' stuff up]] is nothing but fun or at least doesn't take it as seriously as others in [[The Squad]].
He speaks with a heavy drawl or accent and often peppers his speech with odd euphemisms or folksy sayings that leave others confused or at a loss for words. Should he earn a promotion to officer, this will manifest as addressing his subordinates as "Son" and "Boy".
Line 11:
He's the foil for any minority or [[New Meat]] soldiers in the unit, as he almost exclusively gets to play the role of the insular xenophobe.
Even if this character is written as an officer, it is important to remember that this is a class-specific trope. A military officer with southern accent, a good education and a genteel matter is not usually a [[Southern
[[The Idiot From Osaka|Any geographical area of any country that's seen as being a bit backwards]] or woodsy can breed a non-US version of this character.
Despite the title, this trope is not a cross between [[Groin Attack]] and [[Kill It With Fire]].
