Operation Iraqi Liberation

Recently I ran into an incomprehensible acronym: OIF, and also OEF. After doing some research, I found that OIF stood for Operation Iraqi Freedom (and OEF for Operation Enduring Freedom). I suppose that ONE then is Operation Noble Eagle; there can be only one such operation, apparently. I think these operation names should not be acronymed. Spell it out or the reader may not understand. It is an Operation Iraqi Freedom, not an oif, whatever that is. If you insist on using acronyms, at least make them meaningful. Name the operation Operation Iraqi Liberation instead and then the acronym will mean something: OIL.
