We’ve all heard (and complained) about the US military code name for the Iraq War: Operation Iraqi Freedom.
So what’s the British code name?
Operation Telic. I wasn’t sure what it meant, either, until I looked it up. Cool. And much classier than the US name.
I’m still most partial to this one:
Operation: Drain the Ba’ath
Hey — that’s catchy.
I liked their code name for Basra. Operation James. As in Bond.
We could rehash and change WWII operations. But, somehow, Operation Lord Over probably wouldn’t go over very well.
Huh. Neat.
