I was a little surprised that no one on this board has yet pointed out how JUST YESTERDAY, there were a couple of posts regarding "Red Dawn" and today we learn the a group of the 4th ID (the Wolverines) successfully completed Operation RED DAWN (the capture of Hussein).
Coincidence, or are those on this board just really tuned in ......
Wow! I hadn't even heard about this! (yeah, I don't usually watch the news)
I also chuckled about the coincidence. If that had not been posted on the message board I would have never made the connection with Wolverines.
My question is, do they name every single operation in advance or just the ones that are successful?
Because if I was going to be a part of "Operation Gigli" I think I would ask for a transfer.
They all get named. We usually only remember the successful ones because success stands out.
Well naturaly they'll have a tough name...who's gonna be the jackrabbits or possums? ;-)
