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

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


"Operation Contemplative Fury"

"Operation Far-sighted Erection"

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.
