A unit of 30-40 soldiers, usually commanded by a lieutenant asisted by an NCO. A platoon is formed by at least two sections or squads (usually 3 or 4) and is smaller than a company. Typically, there are 3-4 platoons in a company. Most platoons are infantry platoons; some carry other designations such as mortar or heavy weapons platoons. A platoon is the smallest military unit led by a commissioned officer
Also a very kick ass movie from Oliver Stone that won Best Picture for 1986.
In the British Army, a platoon is led by a lieutenant or second lieutenant.
It's the same in the Canadian Forces and the U.S. Army.

To be so drunk that the next morning you will most certainly wake up feeling;
a) with no idea of your whereabouts
b) as if you've just been in a Napalm attack.
"Look at Burty go, he's getting Platooned tonight"
"Yeah, he'll definitely be waking up in Vietnam tomorrow".

It's the name of a movie made by 'Oliver Stone' in 1986. I would say, it's a fine piece of art. Rated 8.1 stars on IMDb, which i would call underrated.
Example 1: Platoon is a fucking great movie. Don't you fucking agree? (Idiot, don't question that)
Example 2: If you don't know the movie Platoon you can go fuck yourself. (Genius)
Example 3: You ask me what Platoon means as a word? Dude, it's a name of a movie end of story. (Moron)
Mad cool group of Mullica skaters. Don't need to have good looks with all their skateboarding talent.
The Platoon did a kick ass demo yesterday.
I wish I was on the platoon so I could skate with Kevin Dodimead and Jereme Lentz!
