What is Operation Odyssey Dawn?

a. The sequel to Homer’s Odyssey

b. The name of a made-for-TV movie

c. The official name of the US, British and French led military action in Libya

d. A few random words strung together

If you guessed “d,” you’re right!

Just kidding, the answer is “c.” Operation Odyssey Dawn is the name for the operation in Libya and the Internet is not a fan.

Still, it’s better than some other Operation names out there. Like, Operation Beaver Cage… not exactly inspiring… or sensible. Anyway, here’s a list of some of the worst military operation names in U.S. history.

What do you think? Does Operation Odyssey Dawn belong on that list, or are you a fan of the name?
