"Mount and Thrust"???

Seriously, every time they talk about Operation Mountain Thrust on the radio, all I hear is "mount and thrust." I'm not fully opposed to a Canadian presence in Afganistan and hopefully our involvement as part of the 11,000 US, British, Canadian and Afghan troops taking part in the offensive will help stabilize the country and weaken the Taliban's grip and so forth.

However, c'mon guys a little subltly in the nameing please. Can I name the next mission? How about "Operation Kill all Taliban"? or, even better, "Operation Bend 'em Over a Barell." Perhaps all the good code names have been taken but you can do better than this.
