It is hilarious to me that those who decry the noble names would be appalled if we used more brutal names and would complain about our barbarism!
What's wrong with "The war in Iraq"?
In the old days we had things like "The Korean War"... "The War in the Pacific"... or the aptly named "Vietnam War"?

Why do they have to have code names at all? Why not just descriptive names?
