Does anybody know how to pronounce this? Dr. Vogel (talk) 02:13, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's an interesting question - lots of places on the internet talk about "bluie" being a US military code for Greenland, but I can't find any references to the word outside the context of the airbases in Greenland and it sounds really vague. You'd think there would be several other code words for other places using different colours, but I can't find anything either. It also raises the question of which branch of the US military used it as a codename. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:50, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
