A slang used in the United States Army to describe a soldier whose performance is lacking. Dirtbag is typically used to describe a soldier with long term performance issues, whereas similar US Army slang, such as "Ate up" and "Soup sandwich" are used in the short term. All soldiers have at one time or another been designated as "Ate up" or "Soup Sandwich," but only those with significant long term problems are labelled as being dirtbags.
