CAUTION: If your politics lean toward conservative, you probably won't want to help me out here, as discussed TooManyGizmos and me in the posts that immediately follow the screen capture.
You military types will have fun with this!
I'm writing a political video song parody that pokes fun at my countrymen. One line goes:
My question is: Which two-syllable adjective will best suggest American combat boots being donned for battle?
As you can see, my brief research has yielded four possible adjectives. I'm wide open to others. The adjective must be meaningful to civilians, either inherently or by inference ("Ah, that must be an American manufacturer").
I also might change "lace up" to go for alliteration: "Buckle your Belleville combat boots..."
I should add: There will be funny visuals illustrating each line, so the listener won't be wholly dependent on the word(s).
Your thoughts?

You're American.
