Was watching RT News(pravda) and up came a spokesman for the Combined Joint Task Force?

"The swords and olive branch indicate the dual nature of the Coalition - the defeat of ISIL and the restoration of stability to the region," the spokesperson wrote. "The 7 leaves of the olive branch represent the seven peoples of Iraq: (Sunni, Shia, Kurd, Turkoman, Assyrian, Yazidi, Armenian).
"The colors used are a reflection of military assets - brown and green for land components; blue for air and naval. The 3 stars indicate the Command, while the color gold represents the quality of excellence performed by the command in the nation's defense."

It has its own Wikipedia page which tells us:
According to CENTCOM officials, the name INHERENT RESOLVE is intended to reflect the unwavering resolve and deep commitment of the U.S. and partner nations in the region and around the globe to eliminate the terrorist group ISIL and the threat they pose to Iraq, the region and the wider international community. It also symbolizes the willingness and dedication of coalition members to work closely with our friends in the region and apply all available dimensions of national power necessary—diplomatic, informational, military, economic—to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Inherent_Resolve It is possible the name was coined by someone who had bunked off school the day they explained the word "inherent". |

sounds like typical army lingo. obfuscate the enemy.
they had a literary term for it JARGON. Specialized language that is particular to a profession is known as "jargon". usually a colonel comes on tv talks for a few minutes and people go away and decipher what he just said. The LT was at the DMZ at zero four hundred hours. |

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP
