What is Redballer?
1.
The red ball express was a corps of mostly black truck drivers that supplied the front-line combat soldiers in the european theater of WWII. They were universally accused of stealing and black marketeering of vital supplies as well as things intended to comfort front-line troops, like chocolate bars and premium cigaretts like Luckies or Camel.
"Every time I saw a redballer he was smokin a Lucky or a Camel, all we ever got in the field was fucking Raleighs."
