But I'm not sure that it's even good journalism to put a operation codename in the title of an article. Isn't it obvious that when you introduce an operational codename people don't know what it is? It's like using an acronym before you spell it out.


So you think the coverage of June 1944 never used the term "D-Day"?

If they had covered that operation like they cover Iraq, they would have spent the entire front page talking about nothing but the horrendous casualties. FDR would have been forced to negotiate a peace. We could still be trying to contain Nazi Germany today.
