I would have no problem if they were to change the name to something like "global rubbish removal," "whacking the whackos," or "taking out the trash."
The MoD does have a point: calling it a war gives the bad guys some ego massage. So, we should be even more descriptive of our mission--these people, to use the Texan model of jurisprudence, need killin'.
The Brits need to stop taking the "Politically Correct" approach and learn to stand up to those guys or they will lose their own country.
