How could it be mandatory if you live in the US?

I know I was mostly just ****ing with Thee plus he’s doing it anyways so it’s a moot point.

That would be "AMOK". Honestly, I haven't seen anybody ever confusing AWOL with AMOK, but perhaps I have been looking at wrong places.

Nah it’s an American thing. People will say “so-and-so went AWOL,” when it’s clear it doesn’t at all for the definition, and typically failing to realize it’s an acronym and not a word.

I think when some people think of someone going AWOL in military people think about someone losing their **** in the middle of a war, not being able to mentally handle it and running away. So when people say "AWOL" they are talking about going crazy in the way you would during a time of extreme stress.

I've never heard anyone use AWOL to describe going crazy like that. Maybe it's just my acquaintance group I guess. I do know quite a few military and ex-military folks. But I've never heard it in that context.

Maybe you guys just hang out with a lot of dumb people.

Neither the American Urban dictionary or American Slang dictionary mention anything about AWOL being used like that. Seems like it is not an all-american thing at least.

It's people misusing the word. Like when someone says "for all intensive purposes."
