Doesn't the name Operation Swarmer sound like "Smarmey" to you?

[napi21]

I don't know who thinks up these damn names. They used to be pretty good at it. Desert Storm was good, Iraqi Freedom wasn't too bad, but SWARMER???????

Don't these people have any creative juices at all?

1. I had exactly that same reaction.

Or at least my inner 9-year-old did.

2. .......

Swarm, War, Warm, Warmer, Arm, ....... yea just exactly what are they trying to say with this one? Swarm = Helicopters, Warmer = Desert Heat? :shrug: Peace.

3. Maybe it has some he-man translation in Arabic...

because this is the first major operation involving Iraqi "troops".
