Weeks, if not months after we’ve been bombing ISIS, we now have a name for the bombing campaign: “Operation Inherent Resolve”.
I don’t know about you, but it just doesn’t sound all that visionary to me. I mean, what’s the mission? Who are we fighting? What does victory look like? You’d think the name of a campaign would indicate something along those lines. Inherent Resolve could be anything…fighting anyone, anywhere. It’s just so generic and blah:
TIMES OF ISRAEL – After more than two months of airstrikes, American commanders have finally decided on a name for the US-led war against Islamic State jihadists — “Operation Inherent Resolve.”
The decision was taken “a few days ago” by the chiefs of all the armed services, said Colonel Ed Thomas, spokesman for the US military’s top officer, General Martin Dempsey.
“The operation is called ‘Operation Inherent Resolve,’” Thomas told reporters Wednesday.
The name had already been cited in previous media reports as a possible choice that was rejected by some officers.
