OK OK, maybe I'm just a little taken by the cool naming system for US weaponry. Have been ever since the "MX Peacekeeper" days (well, imagine a battery of 50 MIRVs each with 10x300K nuclear warheads aimed at your favorite boogieman! whoo! Talk about being SAFE). The people who come up with such pop-names have to be way altogether gone into it - like totally involved artists.
What I esp. like about the predator/hellfire naming system is that the inhabitants of the countries which get "secretly" (haha) attacked with these things attain to a special kind of bonding experience, which thay can associate with the cool names. Lest they forget, y'know? I couldn't wish for more for the laid-back Canadian citizen than to be recipient of such a thrill. So who knows, maybe this embezzler might prove a turning point - might prove the need for benevolent foreign intervention, since Canada has admitted there's next to nothing it can do.
Any better options?
