    I believe General Patton called it ''the best battle implement ever devised'', or words to that effet. My dad simply calls it the M1icon, and so does everyone else I know who carried one in service. I've heard it called by various names and pronounced different ways including pronouncing the G as a J. What difference does it really make anywho?
