Slang from Operation Iraqi Freedom

Death Blossom : The tendency of Iraqi security forces, in response to receiving a little fire from the enemy, to either run away or do the “death blossom” spraying fire indisciminately in all directions. The term originated in the 1984 movie “The Last Starfighter” as a maneuver in which a single starfighter can single handedly wipe out an entire armada.

A grimly interesting glossary.
