“Survival War”? That is just lame. Of course my grandpa, who was one of Merrill’s Marauders would have called it “The War to Destroy the Nip Bastards.”
I think World War II works good. I’d bet that one sticks.
I think the administration needs to come up with something that has more marketing appeal so people will accept Roosevelt’s austerity measures more gracefully. How about, “The Great Patriotic War”?
