“Firmness Storm” and “ Operation Restoring Hope”

are they paying the moron who suggested that obama run on HOPE and CHANGE to come up with these stupid names?

Firmness Storm has to be the most...inane name for a military campaign EVER..

Could these names be translations from Arabic that have more subtle meanings in Arabic? For example, the word Daesh that some Arabs prefer to use for ISIS/ISIL, has a standard meaning, but also a rather insulting meaning related, I think, to feet. Remember the insult of throwing a shoe at President Bush?
