A military slang term, "Walt", which is an abbreviation of the name 'Walter Mitty', which refers to someone who has aspirations to become a soldier, but none of the necessary personal qualities. This bit of slang can also refer to someone who poses as an (ex-)soldier but who isn't a soldier (serving or former), or who poses as something he isn't or wasn't; for example, regular army soldiers who pose as SAS troopers. The term is often used to describe people who participate in "war games" such as Airsoft, Paintball, Military Re-enactment and individuals who are not serving/never served in the Armed Forces but have an obsession with Military Surplus, Regalia, Weaponry etc but subconciously does not understand the difference between Civilian and Military life.
