It's an aside, but I am sick and tired of the PR office coming up with operational names. "Valiant Resolve"?!?

This sort of thing just makes us look like idiots.

Time to break out the random name generator out of moth balls and come up with names like "Whiskey Birdbath" or "Apple Hammer". The great operational names are great because the operations themselves were great. If the pacification of Fallujah was named "Apple Hammer", those words would take on a meaning of their own and be repeated across the Islamic World for a hundred years. People will forget "Valiant Resolve" in a week, because it sounds like the rest of the BS/PR operational names from this war.

your problem is your fear it wont live up to its name. you want action not words. how about:

Operation Pink Tutu
Operation Fluffy Bunny
Operation Drunken Monkey
Operation Royal Crown
Operation Mountain Oyster
Operation Candy Brain
Operation Daffy Duck

I like the last one. our enemies are daffy and in battle, it is good to remember to duck.

I agree. Except if we get something like "Operation Noisy Cricket" from MIB.
