Or if we want to exclude wi...spouses, then dependent children of U.S. Military. The term "brat" is a sometimes used expression, both warmly and with an edge. But it is slang and not even really that ubiquitious.
I would get all Great Santini on you and just move the article, but the article has the term used throughout so that needs to be fixed also. So the whole thing needs some fixing.
Nothing wrong with an article on this subculture...but you are confounding things by dragging the slang term in and overusing it. Like saying flyboy instead of aviator.
P.s. I agree that the article should stay focused on the U.S. Globalizing would be silly. It is a U.S. subculture. TCO ( talk) 04:52, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Incidents such as the Darmstadt American rock-throwing incident are certainly rare, and yet there seems to be no section on the page where acting-out, misbehavior, Juvenile delinquency are discussed. Surely it must be a category on base? E.M.Gregory ( talk) 22:53, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Info on most incidents like these will not be released by the military unless the story is publicized by the international media. Having grown up on base I know that crime by brats is common. I tried googling a case I remember where 3 brats died running from Okinawan police in a stolen vehicle. It was a big tragedy but there is nothing out there... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.103.182.252 ( talk) 05:05, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

The article as it stands now portrays military classism without much reflection on the negative sides, which are plenty. Actually, this classism is a huge issue for military brats. -- 137.132.22.254 ( talk) 08:41, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
