Obama renames war on terror...
 

...to "Overseas Contingency Operation."

Change, change, change....

Changes everything Bush did, weather right or wrong. Guess he can take credit for what goes right after the name change.

Does this mean we get another medal? OCO Medal.

How quickly we forget Rumsfield tried to rename the GWOT to Struggle Against Global Extremism (SAGE). That lasted all but a week.

It was actually the "Global Struggle against Violent Extremism" then quickly replaced by the "Long War." Neither of which supplanted the "Global War on TerrorISM," not Terror. Sorry, pet peeve. http://www.militarycity.com/discussi...lies/smile.png

Frankly I think that it should be named the "Total War Against Terror", or..... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

LOL, good one, I want that medal.

Believe me, fighting that war is something EVERYONE would want to say they've been a part of! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

We could use Anti Terrorism Weapons And Tactics.http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/rolleyes.png

Even the womenfolk? Wait--I only know of one who might not...and I will not mention any names.http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

Of course women have a vested interest in the Total War Against Terror. After all, it impacts them just as much as it impacts us guys! What we DON'T want to have is the Commonwealth Of Corrupt Kingdoms Backing the Lawlessness Of Cold Killers interfering with our Total War Against Terrorism. I mean. That's just uncalled for no matter when or where you're at.

This thread got away from the topic quick. LOL.

Keep it going http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

Aww, most of you guys are just Bullies Looking Unruly Everytime Babes Arrive Looking Luscious, Seriously. http://www.militarycity.com/discussi...lies/smile.png

BTW thanks for the SERE thread. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png nothing brings out the hippy kiddies better than perceived injustices.

True dat!

Hey refresh my memory: what is the overarching "raison d'etre" for the Total War Against Terrorism again? Isn't it For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge?

Well, if you seek Amy, tell me. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

He is renaming America and everything she stands for...

I sure wish him and his liberal allies would get off their universal talking points of blaming everyone else for the problems this nation has... Of course, it is the only talking point he doesn't need a teleprompter for and doesn't stutter.

My understanding is that Muslim extremist leaders approve of the name change...which is nice. They correctly assumed that the GWoT was directed at them and they were getting picked on by our racist forces. Now they can get back to the business of suicide bombings, hijackings, and beheadings without being singled out.

...and what happens to the two GWOT medals the AF currently gives out? Rename them? Replace them with OCO medals?
