No, no, an US operation name has to sound badass, manly, aggressive and resolute - or, if by chance it's not a simple kill-them-all operation, it definitely has to include the word "free" or "freedom" (you know, those words which mean "good" and "USA-like"). You gave a good example of each.

In this perspective, "Market Garden" is for sissies. How is that supposed to induce shock and awe?
