Joe lives in 1970-something, would be my guess.

Biden is just an old school white supremacist who grew up in an era of American dominance and cannot allow for it to crumble into dust, imagining any non white nation can actually stand up to the west is unthinkable (his pudding brain doesn't remember Vietnam)

I would love to understand the nature of US operation names becoming progressively dumber and more literal.

I know that we have a document with guidelines, so practically everything is "Maple (X)", but the Americans really take it to another level.

I thought about it but I'd rather we not try to come up with clever operation names.

It's noted that the Dwight D. Eisenhower CSG has been transiting out of the Persian Gulf, so we're sending an entire carrier group just to deal with Ansar Allah - with nothing covering the Persian Gulf and Iran. We're gonna shoot down their Ali Baba V-1 drones with the most expensive interceptor missiles conceived by man.

I've been given that impression too. When you watch videos of IDF goons having a laugh at Palestine's expense, it's like they're on safari the whole time they're deployed up until they make actual contact with the enemy. Which they will almost certainly not see coming.

It's the changing nature of war. When there was a real enemy, like in WW2, you wanted operation names to help with secrecy.

These days, they know they're not fighting a real war, so there's no need for that. Today, the function of operation names is marketing.

Trump was very averse to american casualties. he watched a lot of television during the gwb years and the negative coverage of caskets coming home. biden pushed for the war in iraq and does not care.
