「馬屁軍」指的是新竹空軍基地的官兵被迫犧牲休假,排練歌曲和隊形,只為了歡迎阿扁總統視察基地。

[黃玟君教授翻譯 摘自聯合報]
The "brown-nosing troops" refer to the Hsinchu air base troops who were faced to give up their holiday to rehearse songs and troop
formation to welcome the president.

[我的寫法]
The "brown-nosing troops" means that soldiers in the Hsinchu air base practiced singing songs and rehearse troop formation at the cost of their vacation in order to welcome President A-bian.
