What does 'the big green weenie' mean?
It's a crude metaphor for the impersonal ways the military disadvantages or shafts its own members — getting hit by the big green weenie means the system just screwed you.
Why 'green'?
Green stands for the Army and Marines, whose uniforms and gear are that color, so the phrase personifies the service itself as the thing doing the screwing.
Is it vulgar?
Yes, the imagery is deliberately crude, but it's used humorously as griping and morale venting rather than as a serious slur.
