Would it be better if they picked WWE names?

You're asking my opinion?

ABSOLUTELY!

Military operations always sound like high school jocks' names for their metal bands.

I leave the reasons for this similarity as an exercise for the reader.

When the Kobane are defeated though, then the Foo shall fight!

But is someone getting the Best of Them?

I consider myself a conservative, and I have no interest in doing a **** thing over there. But then, I'm a normal guy, typing on a computer in a hockey message board, not someone that actually has the power to make a decision.

Yeah...you will be affected by this war in multiple ways so of course you actually care about the subject. Those in power have no skin in the game, their lives wont change if we fight another war for nothing.

Soon, however, they will be in Nirvana.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd... it's there.

The internet is the finest manifestation of Borges' Library of Babel.

On my second roll I got "Operation Hidden Climax."

Better than "Operation Early Climax" I suppose.

Inherent Resolve? That sure rolls off the tongue.

And the snark is already underway!

Maybe someone could create a military operation name generator, like there's a Shakespearean insult generator online.

I think we should come up with our own Mad Libs.

{smart-sounding adjective} {chest-thumping noun}


"Contemplative Fury"

"Far-sighted Erection"

Resolve isn't a bad word for naming a military operation, but inherent? That's where this one loses me.

I now feel better about the whole mess.

After all this time --- a name.
A senior military source says the name of the operation in Iraq and Syria is…
"Inherent Resolve"

I see what you did there.
