    You get two points for including the word 'freedom', 'democracy' or 'peace'
    1 point for names implying stability
    1 point for names claiming a defensive role
    1 point for names implying a benefit
    1 point for words implying beauty, or vigor
    and use a multiplier of two for adding grandiosity, such as 'Global' or 'Forever'

    Lose half a point for words associated with unpleasant things such as mud,
    or barbed wire.
    Lose a full point for words associated with getting injured or killed.

    Or give your assessment of the name for a past military operation.

    gain 1 point for a name that turned out to be completely ironic

    No but I think I read somewhere that the DoD uses a name generator program to give names to its operations.

    How about getting our collective heads out of our butts and not supporting the president for every war they get us into? I know the national crisis thing has been good for presidents in the past, but people need to become skeptical.

    Perhaps a good name for all the wars Joe wants to fight in a half assed way is "Biden's Follies." He overall weakness emboldens our enemies and creates more attacks.

    At least Trump kept them guessing. When the tin pot general in Iran decided he'd lead efforts to kill people, Trump had him blown up. There was a nice picture of his severed figure in the Bill O'Reilly book, Killing the Killers.

    Operation Contractor Kickback.

    Now that's something worth sending America's young men and women off to war for!

    I think Operation Eternal Peace would be a winner!
