	Who Are the War Criminals? Naming Names- by Justin Raimondo
		The war in Vietnam was their Thermopylae, in which they tried to hold off the gathered legions of the burgeoning antiwar movement — but without success.
		The neoconservatives languished during the post-Cold War era, all but running out of steam: in America, the appetite for foreign intervention was practically nil, and the Republicans, the neocons' chosen host of the moment, were reverting back to their traditional stance of a skeptical attitude toward foreign intervention.
		Their war agenda was ready and waiting for the panic, the irrationality, the blind anger that infused the American public in the wake of the biggest terrorist attack in our history — and the neocons moved quickly to take full advantage of their golden opportunity.

	The Gulf Stream
		The Gulf Stream is bigger than the combined flow of the Mississippi, the Nile, the Congo, the Amazon, the Volga, the Yangtze and many other major rivers of the world.
		Perhaps the discovery and naming of the Gulf Stream is a moot question, but to cartography it becomes important in tracing history, particularly in the Age of Exploration and Discovery of the New World.
		From the available records, the title "Gulf Stream" was first used to identify the flowing waters off the southeast coast of Florida in 1768 or 1769 by William Gerand De Brahm, while in the employ of the British Government.

	Naming Styles on British War Medals & General Guide
		Generally speaking it is this naming of medals that define their value, that is, it's to whom they were awarded, that decides the price.
		When the more uncommon medals issued for wars in the Victorian period are collected, the desirably named medals - good examples would be medals to officers, casualties, and recipients present at famous actions - the value difference is often measured in thousands.
		As time moves on naming styles come and go, and late issues by nature have a feature revealing them as such, not just necessarily a later naming style but perhaps a different suspender or they are struck on a thicker (or thinner) flan than the bulk of the issue.

	BioEd Online: Does Gulf War syndrome exist?
		The report calls for the government to acknowledge that about 6,000 British veterans of the 1991 Gulf War have suffered ill health as a direct result of their service.
		It concludes "beyond a reasonable doubt" that soldiers from the Gulf War developed more symptoms than would be expected given the environment in which they were working.
		Moreover, they conclude that the Gulf War veterans suffered these symptoms to an unusual extent, meaning that their illness can justifiably be described as new.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Military -- Tagging military operations more an art than a science
		Commanders choosing the operation name for a war in Iraq have to balance security concerns with the message, says Conrad Crane, director of the U.S. Army Military History Institute.
		In Vietnam, names were crafted to detail the missions themselves – such as Flaming Dart I and II, retaliatory air strikes against selected North Vietnamese installations; and Rolling Thunder, massive bombing raids designed to weaken North Vietnam's resolve to keep fighting.
		Such sensitivities led the Pentagon to scrap the original name for the anti-terror war, Infinite Justice, to avoid offending Muslims, for whom concepts of finality are associated with Allah.

	Crimes Of War Project > The Book
		In the decades preceding the war Washington outfitted the Shah of Iran with state-of-the-art weapons, military bases, and technicians and anointed him de facto gendarme of the Gulf.
		This moral abdication in the century’s last classic international war soon was taken on board by players in the series of internecine conflicts in Rwanda, Somalia, Liberia, Bosnia, and elsewhere that ushered in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War.
		Iraq repeatedly complained its prisoners of war were “liquidated,” kept incommunicado, or, in the case of Shia soldiers, brainwashed and compelled to join the “Badr Brigade’s” special turncoat military units organized at Iranian instigation to fight one day for an Islamic Republic in their motherland.

		As President Bush denounces his critics and proclaims war without end in Iraq the central front in a new cold war, he fails to acknowledge that he is responsible for handing Al Qaeda a new home base.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1995
		Naming operations seems to have originated with the German General Staff during the last two years of World War I. The Germans used code names primarily to preserve operational security, though the names were also a convenient way of referring to subordinate and successive operations.
		MacArthur did depart from World War II practice in one important respect: he permitted code names to be declassified and disseminated to the press once operations had begun, rather than waiting until the end of the war.[46] Thus, combat operation names were, for the first time, public knowledge as operations unfolded.
		Naming the operation Just Cause was risky, however, not only because it was an obvious public relations ploy, but also because it apparently sought to preempt judgment about whether, in fact, the invasion really was moral, legal, and righteous.

	Preventive or Preemptive War? by Alan Bock
		"Preemptive war is justified by an imminent threat of attack, a clear and present danger that the country in question is about to attack you.
		During the 1967 Six Day War, Israel attacked first, but Egyptian and Syrian troops were massing on the border and airplanes were being mobilized.
		An outright, open preventive war of this magnitude would be unprecedented in our history, an acknowledgment that our leaders view the country as a universal empire rather than a free republic.

	The JPost : Naming a War
		What Americans now call the Civil War was once commonly spoken of in the South as "The War Between the States." Even the names of battles are disputed, with Southerners naming battles after nearest town, Northerners after the nearest river.
		This is a fight that, through its very name, joins a few million Palestinians with 250 million of their ethnic and linguistic kin, and one billion of their co-religionists abroad.
		So naming the war the "Al-Aqsa Intifada" has proved a Palestinian stroke of genius, with its adoption by much of the Western press helping to cast the conflict internationally on Yasser Arafat's terms while hampering Israel's efforts to conduct its side of the war.
