LZ means "Landing Zone"
A hot lz is a military term for a landing zone (hence LZ) that is under heavy fire. It was used many times in Vietnam due to the constant in and out of helicopters. During a "hot" LZ, the landing zone was under too much fire for a helicopter to land, so the soldiers must jump out of the helicopter in stead of it landing. The helicopter never touches the ground for the purpose of getting in and out as fast as possible.
LZ = Landing Zone A EVAC. aka: a evacuation area
Lz means landing zone :3
LZ Granderson was born on 1972-03-11.
Already answered this question, but didn't define the "LZ" part. LZ=Landing Zone.
During the Vietnam War, LZ stood for Landing Zone. Within weeks or months many of those Landing Zones became firebases. Consequently, one might hear the words, "LZ Blackhawk or LZ Rifle"...when referring to Firebase Blackhawk or Firebase Rifle. The LZ's were for designated helicopter landings originally.
The term was "military conscription."
I believe the term is "conscription", similar to what we'd call being "drafted" in the 20th century.
The term "hot" during the war did NOT mean the weather. The term "hot" referred to enemy activity. When GIs heard that an AO (Area of Operations) was "hot" the next question from them was , "How hot? NVA or VC?" Then after that question was answered, then more questions could be asked, like what kind of weapons? Etc. LZ means Landing Zone. Originally beach areas where the landing was taking place, but now it applies to helicopter landing zones. A "hot" LZ meant going in shooting (because the enemy was going to be shooting when you came in).

No, most military men are not gay. But some are.
