Two months after American bombs and missiles began pounding fighters of the so-called Islamic State, President Barack Obama’s undeclared war in Iraq and Syria finally has a name: Operation Inherent Resolve.
The Wall Street Journal had reported on Oct. 3 that the name had been considered and rejected, with one unnamed military officer saying “it is just kind of bleh.”
The long search for a name had sparked a flurry of jokes on Twitter, where one leading tongue-in-cheek suggestion was that it be called “Operation Hey Wasn’t That My Humvee” – a reference to U.S. airstrikes hitting Islamic State fighters using American equipment captured from Iraqi troops.

Get back to me when it’s called Operation Crusader.

“Inherent Resolve”?
INHERENT: Existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute.
RESOLVE: Firm determination to do something.
So we have a firm determination to blow up these people which exists as a permanent, essential and characteristic attribute of ourselves.
In other words, we would be resolved to blow these people up no matter what they did, because this resolve is an inherent part of our nature.
Furthermore, this is a permanent part of our nature, which means we have always wanted to blow these people up, even before they started this terrorist campaign. This resolve always has been and always will be.
But how can you be inherently resolved against something that is transitory in nature? So we must be resolved against something that is inherent to our enemy, something that exists as a permanent, essential and characteristic attribute of their nature.
Can somebody explain to me how this is not outrageously racist?
