America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
For that matter, who names anything other than the lowest form of life on earth, "Possum"
I knew a guy in college who's nickname was Possum. He got it when very young. His mother was hosting some kind of ladies meeting when he charged through the crowd packing a live possum he'd just caught. He cleared the room.

That is a keeper, go get him. That's a very cute pup! How about 6-shooter for a name? Or Wheelgun? Whelen? Overbore? Dropkick? Lugnut? SpeedSix? Carter? T-Rex? Bear?
Wife's been wanting a kitten, but I resisted until the tension got real thick recently (8 years) . Knowing I was finally losing, I chose "Pharaoh" for a boy cat name, and "A Cat Named Bill" for a girl cat name. She got a girl. I think A Cat Named Bill is going to fit right on around here.

What will the neighbors think when they hear me calling out "POSSUM!" in the middle of the night, and they don't hear a shotgun blast?
Rename her Stella, so the neighbors can hear you calling out "STELLAAAAAAAA!" in the middle of the night.
I always figured that naming a black lab "Brigham" would fall into a similar category. Can't you imagine yelling out across a Utah duck marsh "Brigham, you get your black azz back here."
