"It's just kind of bleh," an unnamed military officer told The Journal. An unnamed senior official further said the name was merely a placeholder that had never been considered to be the actual name for the overall operation.
The initial failure of the name of the operation was multifaceted. For some officers, Inherent Resolve failed to evoke the sense of the Middle East. Other officers rejected the name on the grounds that it failed to capture the sense of the international coalition that had joined the US in operations.
Military operations have been named by the US military since at least World War II. The lack of a name for the operations in Syria and Iraq had come as a break with 70 years of military tradition.

Obama is a lying SOS. His very failure to even identify the Islamic State as Islamic is but one of many mistakes.
Therefore; Operation Inherent Failure is now the name of the game in Obammie's so called war on ISIS..

Are you sure they didn’t name it “inherited resolve”? As inherited from Bush? Isn’t that what they usually claim? And what exactly do they mean by inherent resolve, it sounds contradictory to me
