So apparently, the US army, or at least one division of it, has named an operation "operation Call of Duty" And yes, it is named after the game. It's ironic that the Operation's goal is to bring "law and order to Jaghato (A district of Afghanistan)."

I already know that the Army's UAV operators play Xbox in their free time, one article stated that they played "Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 4 (This was before 5 came out), and other games" (not America's Army ). But this is taking it one step too far, IMO. Not that the US Army's names for operations has gotten better over time.

OK, fine. Direct Quote time

"The response is operation Call of Duty, rather aptly named after the video game. "

EDIT: And yeah, 10th mountain division DOES have a Call of Duty clan.

yes the reporter said that. But he was interviewing the captain of the regiment, so yeah, it's credible. It cauld be a inside joke though, in the division.

Lol, there's also an Operation Counterstrike. No word on whether that's named after the game or not, though.

Too bad CoD 4 went down the cheap whore route and decided to use the Marines instead of the Army. The US Army gets no love from the media and hollywood etc.. whilst the toyboy USMC get all the exposure, I hate the Marines. Especially Space Marines, get the fuck out with that shit

Where the fuck is GS to back me up on this shit
