3. God, this is not a friggin' joke, people!!!!
They're still acting like it's a video game. Seriously -- that name could be the next Tom Clancy game. Tom Clancy's Phantom Fury. These people are seriously insane.

5. Sorry, in my moment of despair
I forgot to explain myself. I just turned on MSNBC, just for a moment, though I'll try to never make that mistake again, and that's what they're calling the latest siege on Fallujah. Operation Phantom Fury. I just lost it, but I'm better now. No, actually I'm not.

7. I'm sure that between Solid Snake and Sam Fisher, we'll do fine.
Wait, no, I forgot. This is an actual military operation.

SHIT.

12. What is interesting about these various operations...
They have a program that generates these crappy names. No longer are clever names such as Market Garden, Cobra, Barbarossa, Crossbow or even Jubilee are used. They have to plug in video game type overly testosterone induced names. So exhausting.

Below is an amusing example of some of the truly crappy names the military has come up with. "you are not paid to think soldier!! no imagination around here is allowed, we have a computer to think for you!!! Now drop and give me twenty!"
Enjoy (may favorite is Ejaculating Peach)
