No, because the army merely appropriated a slang term which was
already in use for an "improvised" weapon. The army may use the term
in some specific way, but "prior art" and a shitload of other people
not in the military use it in a fuzzy way. You can't write "peeps"
into a military manual and then say "peeps is an objective term".
Language doesn't work that way.
