The news is touting the seventh anniversary of the Iraq War, recently re-named Operation New Dawn from the previous title, Operation Iraqi Freedom. They wanted to use The Empire Strikes Back, but the name was taken.
You know the war. It's the one that's claimed the lives of 4,500 American soldiers. The one responsible for the violent deaths over 100,000 Iraqi civilians and military personnel. That dawning war.
After seven years, it's no longer a war or an operation. It's a lifestyle.
