just a guess…
Viet Cong >>> VC >>> Victor Charlie >>> Charlie
The Viet Cong turned into “the VC,” which turned into “Victor Charlie” which eventually turned into just “Charlie.”
edit: missed it by that much
Hmmm…I always thought it was some odd resemblance to Charlie Brown :\ that certainly makes it more of a slur, imo…
