    “Fox” could be confused with “box”, so it goes with “Foxtrot”.

    Also, keep in mind that everything is a product of its time.

      Fox could also be misheard in other languages, not just box.

      The old joke about telling your German counterpart about nine tanks coming over the hill and all that.
