Self explanatory title I think.

Overlord?
Desert Storm?
Iraqi freedom.

Personally I like Operation Market Garden, can't currently remember what it was about, but I like the name:D

Overlord.

Sounds like a plan for world domination, but was really to stop a dictator. Heh, irony.

I like "Enduring Freedom," although the actual operation is yielding mixed results.

BTW ... Market Garden was a disaster! Ever see the movie "A Bridge Too Far?" That was Market Garden. :(

Desert Storm?

definitely Desert Storm, or the Manhattan Project. Market Garden was a WWII operation to take bridges in the Netherlands, that ultimately resulted in the destruction of the British 1st Airborne and was considered the last German victory of the Western campaign.

Excellent movie, I own it on DVD.

Calling the historical feat a disaster though may be a bit strong. It did, in fact, win much property, even as it was vastly more difficult that anticipated.

Operations Cornflakes and Sauerkraut:
Psychological warfare campaign waged by the United States during WWII. Operation Cornflakes was planned to drop German mail sacks containing subversive material in carefully addressed envelopes inside the Reich near shot-up enemy trains. Operation Sauerkraut was a plan to use captured German prisoners of war to distribute Allied propaganda behind enemy lines.

I like inconspicuous names, that sound sorta mean. Like "Fall Gelb", and "Operation Weserübung".

It's like cold and calculating, which is a lot more badass than coming out and slogging your nuts all over the place. Just not sophisticated enough. ;)

By the way, Market Garden was British and US armoured divisions trying to link up with paratroopers over the last few bridges into Germany.

In answer to the question: Operation Winkle. To winkle out the spies.
