In military science classes or in my years on active duty, I have participated in or observed military exercises; however, we never named an existing city or state as a “hostile.” We would use fictitious names before we would do such a thing
During my time, XVIII ABN would use "Cornada" as the fictional country for operations. Even NTC out in Irwin would use the made-up nation of "Krasnovia".
He also mentions:
I was rather appalled that the hostile areas amazingly have a Republican majority and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution.
That's always amused me about the Left and the Right: the Left always telegraphs their punches, and the Right always leads with their chin - and wonders why they got hit.
The right, has no chin.
