I suggest you ask anyone at Khe Sanh, Jan 1968, when 60 BUFs did a "square dance" around the camp's perimeter for 11 days or read the Falcon codes from that time frame. In 1972/3 when college students lined up at airports to spit on the returning troupes, the powers that were in charge start a decency campaign to call the B-52G & H buffs (big ugly friendly fellows) to appease the politically correct. Fat Albert was the only USAF nickname that had fat in it it prior to 1973.
