I have it on good authority that the people in law enforcement and the military — and indeed all humans in general — were in fact kids at one point. Maybe we all just like cool sounding codenames, even if some keyboard jockeys on a forum will call it “cringe”.
- ASalazarMX 2y agoI was a cringy kid too, but now I'm an adult that wouldn't call an official war strike "Operation Beastmaster" (real name from the Iraq invasion). Christ, how many years before we see names like "Operation CyBoRgDiNoSaUr"?
- nozzlegear 2y ago> but now I'm an adult that wouldn't call an official war strike "Operation Beastmaster" (real name from the Iraq invasion). Why? That name’s dope. If you can’t give cool names to military operations of all things, then you can’t give cool names to anything. And as someone else pointed out, the US military does have a framework for how they name operations. They at least avoid sounding like our names in the software industry: https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ :P
