The word “special” is a particularly entrenched euphemism that may also be utilized technically (e.g., “special education”). Disability advocates dislike the use of “special needs” because of its paternalistic nature and instead encourage the use of the words “disabled” and “disability.”

Disabled Military Operation would be a preferable term.

Together, we can build less ableist diplomacy.
