'Tested well with 6-year-olds': Pentagon buried for 'embarrassing' name for Iran attack

[LetMyPeopleVote]

The name of this operation is so very stupid

While the Trump administration's unprecedented attack on Iran has received a wave of scrutiny, so too did the name the administration had given the operation – Operation Epic Fury – which was dogpiled on Saturday morning by critics as childish.

While the Trump administration’s unprecedented attack on Iran has received a wave of scrutiny, so too did the name the administration had given the operation – Operation Epic Fury – which was dogpiled on Saturday morning by critics as childish.

“It's called Operation Epic Fury because it tested well with a panel of 6 year olds and Steven Seagal,” wrote author Russ Jones in a social media post on Bluesky Saturday.

“More like Operation Epstein’s Fury,” wrote prominent political commentator and social media influencer Jackson Hinkle in a post to his more than 3.6 million followers on X, referencing the Trump administration’s ongoing fallout from its botched investigation into Jeffrey Epstein......

“Operation Epic Fury sounds like [an] energy drink that gives you heart palpitations and bad decisions,” wrote X user "Crypto Intel Plug,” a cryptocurrency commentator with more than 1,600 followers.

A woman’s fury hath been tested.
