Political Military Operation names: STOP!

] Operation Iron Promise

Its seems in the Texas Air Guard, they don't teach how Military Operations/Projects/Callsigns are supposed to be generic/non-specific names to refer to a plan without giving away information about said plan. They are not to be political statements in a poor attempt to slap legitimacy on your diplomatic foobars.

Turman wasn't such a dumbass he needed to rename Operation Overlord Operation French Freedom. He didn't need to sell his people on the idea. Hilter didn't rename Operation Barbarossa to Operation Kick-the-Russian's-ass or a more Bush-like Operation Free-the-Russians-from-a-evil-madman, though I frankly doubt Hitler cared about selling his war of aggression to his people the way Bush seems to.

Operation Mountain Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom.... [sigh]

Operation Bullshit
