Oh, I took gwz's comment a completely different way.
Juanita = Johnny, as In 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home"; I don't think it is referencing our Juan. And I thought the gist of his post was similar to that which many of you have taken in the pc thread about the contemporary meaning of many well used words changing dramatically to now primarily mean something entirely different. *I* took the post to be anti-pc, that gwz thought it silly that some would no longer be comfortable with the song as new innuendo has arisen both relating to gender (women, as well as men now in the military) and sexual orientation.
Until proven otherwise, I'm not sure offense was intended.
I certainly could be wrong, but that's my initial reaction.
