    It’s funny that people deny this now when we were all making “Oh your country has oil? Sounds like you need some freedom 🦅😏” jokes in the 2000s

    The joke from when I was in the army at that time was that the name of the operation originally was Operation Iraqi Liberation but somebody caught on fast enough that the acronym being OIL was just too on the nose.

    I honestly don’t know if that was purely a joke or if there was any truth to it.
