Sailor Goon: The Pun Explained
Added 2019-10-06 23:26:09 +0000 UTC"Sailor Moon" is an popular anime character that's powered by the moon, which is also exactly what powers modern night vision which is officially known as "image intensifier" technology. While no-light stuff is also possible, having moon light makes even the best night vision tech available today work a lot better.
It was an easy jump to connect the two and create "Sailor Goon", which remixes the iconic character with modern direct action raid operators, aka "goons".
Far as I can tell, the use of the term “goon” to describe elite military fellers was first done OAF Nation, the usual trendsetter for military and firearms culture. Credits there too!
