Blue Falcon
This is not a bird species. Rather, it’s a euphemism, with blue standing in for buddy and the falcon standing in for a phrase that’s widely regarded as one of the most impolite in even a soldier’s language. So a blue falcon is someone who causes major problems for his companions in warfare. It’s not meant as a compliment.

This is from the United States Marine Corps. It does not, however, imply the existence of a secret society of disgruntled lance corporals. What we’re referring to is the rumor mill, which can be found in almost any military unit you can think of. In this situation, it’s gossip and supposition that spreads like wildfire through the lowest ranks.
