People in my inbox love the details:
My brother and I sat watching the news of Saddam’s capture, and we
couldn’t help but grin at the title of the operation: “Operation Red
Dawn.” We were further elated when the announcement was made that the
objectives were called “Wolverine One” and “Wolverine Two.” I would bet
that an officer in his late twenties or early thirties named the
operation after the 1984 Patrick Swayze/Charlie Sheen movie about the
communist invasion of the U.S. “Wolverines!”
