Boom! (Oops…)

I’ve just read that the 1995 Nato bombing of Bosnia and Herzegovina was codenamed Operation Deliberate Force.

Which is fine in itself, but it does sort of have bad implications for all the other military actions. You’ll note that we hardly ever hear about Operation Accidental Violence, Operation Mistaken Bombardment, Operation Blind Lashing Out At Anything and Operation Which One Of You Bastards Spilled My Pint, Come On, I’ll Take You All On.
