This is what happens before Public Affairs officers fake a code name...if they do you end up with this being called "Operation Final Justice" or "Operation Justice for Iraq."

REAL code names usually have some sort of humor aspect now (the "Larry, "Moe," and "Curly" objectives in the Battle for Baghdad, etc.

the movie is something of a cult film among right-wing US extremists

They just can't write a story without throwing something like that into it.

high school students band together to form a guerrilla resistance unit known as the "Wolverines," after the bear-like creature known for its ferocity.

The "Wolverines" was the mascot of the local high school.

Their jackets had the emblem.

When I heard the name of the mission and the name of the target farm houses, I thought someone else liked the movie.

I laughed three times when I found this out.

Laugh three times toward the ceilings if you want me.
Twice towards the pipes
If the answer is no.

""Red Dawn," starring Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, Harry Dean Stanton and Powers Boothe, takes place in a typical small town in the midwest of the United States at the outbreak of World War III."

Isn't Sheen on the anti-war side? If so I like the irony.

The film also featured the clever use of, "spider holes."

This line jumped out at me also, they are so blatant in their contempt, the left-wingers make no attempt to hide their prejudice anymore.

I'd make a joke about really wanting you, but I'm afraid you'd show up at my door: a chance I cannot take. ;O)
