US Army Discovers Less Artistry in Operation Names Than in Liepāja Tram Routes
While Americans battle with 'Epic Fury', in Liepāja the tram peacefully runs its route and nobody calls their daily routines 'operations'.
While the US Army comes up with operation names like 'Epic Fury', in Liepāja we simply say - take the tram to Karosta. Without any epic emotions, just with practicality that any superpower could envy.
Three fallen soldiers in the operation against Iran make one wonder - do we really need such dramatic names for military actions? In Liepāja, if someone wants to show anger, they simply don't smile at the tram conductor or don't buy a ticket at the market for full price. No 'operations', just honest daily life of a Liepāja resident.
'Epic Fury' - oh please! On our beach, when a Riga resident tries to convince us that Jūrmala is better than Liepāja beach, you see real fury. But we don't call it an operation, we call it revealing the truth.
Local café owner Jānis comments: 'If Americans go to war with such names, they should learn from our tram - it's been running for 40 years, never changed its name, and everyone knows where to get off.' Indeed, practicality is a Liepāja resident's strong suit.
CENTCOM announces that wounded soldiers are returning to duty. In Liepāja we call that 'going back to work after the weekend'. Without any commands or press releases.
