You are right...I am brain farting the word right...  Anyhow...it is
different because it was used on its own without any other references to
weapons.  The bullseyes on targeted disctricts (which in itself is pretty
innocent), lock and load and don't retreat...reload where all used in the
same context of the same subject.  Plus lock and load only refers to one
thing...loading a gun with ammunition and making it ready to fire.  Don't
retreat, reload really can't mean anything else but reloading a firearm.

I think you have that reversed. Euphemism is when you replace offensive
words with softer ones. Unless of course Obama was talking about nuclear
war.

And why is that different form lock and load?
