Enough of naming these operations. Just kill the bastards and go home.

I miss the days when operations were just named for random things as code words, instead of turning them into branding and marketing tools. During WW2, the invasion of Sicily was Operation Husky. Now it would be "Operation Everlasting Virtue" or something.

Yes!! Please, no offense to any of our military hero’s who have fought in these battles, but I too have always hated these names. I’ve always pictured some Harf type working in the press office of the Pentagon coming up with these names.
