I think that 'Jug' is short for Juggernaut which is a relentless destroying force. Apt name and a compliment surely? As regards " over paid " etc I think the film "Yanks" by John Schlesinger probably explains the true attitudes when masses of young men from another continent and culture suddenly appear in a small English town.
Thanks KD, I'll have to check it out. My grandfather captured a German machine gun nest during WWI. He was one of the few G.I.s that shared his rations with the boys. They wrote back and forth until that anal pore Hitler came to power.
