Why is 'Divine Strake' called that?
On June 2, 2006, our military will be testing a 700 ton nuclear bomb in the Nevada desert which is approximately 90 miles from Las Vegas. The bunker-buster bomb has been nicknamed 'Divine Strake' (I posted the full story a few posts below this one). What does 'Divine Strake' mean? When I first heard the name of it my thought was, "Oh I get it...it's really supposed to be 'Divine Strike' to rally the Evangelical End-Timers in our country", but after further research, I found that the names for bombs or exercises such as this are chosen by a system called the Nickname & Exercise Codeword System (LOL...gee, that's a creative title). Apparently right now our military is using the "Divine" series. Because each nickname has to have two names, "strake" (the definition is described in the above title link) was added to it. Other nicknames in the past have been: Bubble Girl and Busy Lobster. I find it very creepy, though, that our military is giving names like this to bombs or testing exercises, but I suppose it's better than nicknaming them, "Iranian Enema" or "Enemy Eliminator" or something like that! I'm really nervous about this nuclear testing exercise that is going to happen in June. It is supposed to be the BIGGEST BOMB TEST EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE MILITARY. Scary indeed. I read one article recently that predicted a 10,000 foot high dust cloud will appear in the shape of a mushroom cloud! The bomb will be tested underground and the military is stating that nothing lethal will leak out through the ground. (Yeah right. Wasn't it the government agencies that said the air at Ground Zero in NYC was safe to breathe and now we are hearing of cases of people dying of weird respiratory illnesses? Oh boy.)
