OK, I have a rant...not a long rant.....and it is critical of the U.S.

OK, this idea of giving our military operations these cutesy little names has to go. Operation Desert Storm, Operation Infinite Justice, Operation Enduring Freedom....C'MON!!!! If we are going to bomb the hell out of Iraq, we should just call it "Operation Bomb the hell out of Iraq", if we are going to bomb the hell out of Afghanistan, we should just call it "Operation Bomb the Hell out of Afghanistan, and if we are gonna kill OBL, we should just call it "Operation put Bin Laden on Ice".

We don't need some euphemism wrapped up as a cheesy marketing slogan to describe our military actions.

Thanks for listening
