rename drones "Obomb-ombs" because that sounds hella rad

Created by L.O. on March 21, 2014

For too long American military hardware has suffered from boring generic names out of 90's action movies, like the "Eagle" or the "Tomahawk." Isn't it time we had a bit of fun with the process, maybe get a bit more creative? Something to give our enemies and allies alike a little chuckle when they think of it to counteract our somewhat party-pooperish international reputation. This is why I propose renaming our unmanned drone ordinance "Obomb-ombs," as a pun on the name of our Commander-in-Chief and the oh so frustrating enemies of Nintendo's Mario franchise. C'mon, people. With all the tax payer money that goes towards Defense, don't we deserve a little entertainment in return?
