I feel that the ironic juxtaposition within the common oxymoron 'Military Intelligence' is not a slight upon the intelligence of military personnel in the general sense, moreover an ironic stab at the Intelligence gathering services of the military, or the product of such units.

We all (universal soldiers and ex servicemen and women), have a dig at the quality of the 'intelligence'  (or what the US abbreviates to 'Intel' in the same way that a UK Reconnaissance Unit would be a U.S. 'Recon' unit) that we are supported with whilst in the field; as we mock the 'Intelligence Unit's' personnel.

I guess the translation of the expression 'Military Intelligence' within the context of the oxymoron, for the U.S. would be 'Military Intel' which doesn't work at all; the US having invented a new word (Intel) from an abbreviation that instills clarity where a ambiguous word, the noun 'Intelligence' can mean either the intellectual/mental capacity of an individual, or the collection of information of military or political value.

I definitely feel that the oxymoron version of 'Military Intelligence' refers to the quality of 'the collection of information of military or political value.'

'Military Intelligence' is an oxymoronic expression that many military service personnel enjoy with a knowing grin and a wry smile.
