“Strike of the Sword” – a fitting name

Again, the U.S. government chooses to name another of its unjustified military assaults with what is supposed to be a heroic strong fearless sounding name.

“Strike of the Sword” is another arrogant expression of U.S. government imperialism.

And as it continues, look for more death, destruction and suffering for the Afghan people…and for U.S. troops.

Frankly, I find the name of this military strike quite fitting, for the consequence of such use of our military will most certainly backfire in my opinion.

The first thing I thought of when I heard the name of this military strike was a scripture:

“Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” (Matthew 26:52, KJV)
