Military Trivia

I often note with amusement the significant differences in naming conventions for military operations between the US and the rest of the "Anglosphere". A typical US Army operation might be "Operation Devastating Earthshatterer", while a British or Canadian equivalent might be "Operation Broken Teaspoon" or "Operation Goalie Glove". (I'll pass up on the urge to attribute something mockery-tinged to French codenames . . . but only because Babelfish didn't give me a useful translation for "Operation Wet Knickers" or "Operation Big Girl's Blouse").

Not that there's anything wrong with a dose of belligerant overkill in your naming conventions. . .
