Hilarious, Interesting, and Disturbing Classified Military CODENAMES

While researching about classified military programs in the 2008 budget, I came across a database of present and past military CODENAMES, many of which are still classified. Usually names are created by combining two unrelated representational words but often with disastrous or bizarre results, like HARVEST PEOPLE or BIG SQUIRT. Some times the names completely fabricated like WHISPERING DEATH, and others I just have no idea what they were thinking like… uh.. CLARINET RAMROD. Below are some of the more unusual ones from hundreds that are know.

I should make it clear that I did not make any of these up, they all come from the US government.
