PSYOPS vs MISO - Guess which one the troops like

Yeah, the PSYOPpers hate being named after a soup.

You know who you really, really don't want to piss off? Psychological Operations, the branch of the military that deals with information and propaganda warfare. But that's exactly who the top Pentagon brass decided to mess with. The Department of Defense announced it is considering changing the outfit's name from the mystique-rich "Psy Ops" to the much more mundane MISO. That stands for Military Information Support and/to Operations, which is both awkward and decidedly un-badass.

PsyOps are the Army's stepchild. PsyWar was a better name.
