Renaming GWOT: WACK-A-MOLE

Returning to the issue of renaming the Global War on Terror to the Long War or something else, I thought I’d pull out my suggestion for a replacement name buried at the end of an earlier post.

How about “War Against Child Killers And Militants Organized as Loose Entities“? It pulls on the emotions and includes the idea of a networked enemy of various types. Seems like a good fit to me. In addition to being descriptive of the enemy, it makes for a nice acronym that also jives with our tactics: WACK-A-MOLE.

  1. “Seems like a good fit to me. In addition to being descriptive of the enemy, it makes for a nice acronym that also jives with our tactics: WACK-A-MOLE.”Good one. Maybe the best analogy for our counter-terrorism efforts these days in is fact a Warner Bros. cartoon.
