> I swear law enforcement and the military choose the cringest name codes, not much better than names kids would pick.
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”.
I 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"?

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.
