#1 I think ODIN should stand for:

Observe,
Demolish,
Incinerate --
No IED guys anymore!

#3 It's always a good sign when they select Asatru (Aesir) names. You know there is going to be some blood spilled with names like Odin, Thor, Tyr, and Ragnarok bandied about.

They'd probably use Aztec gods as well, but they are so damnably hard to spell and pronounce right.

and what the hell do you do with all that "beating heart" bio-hazardous waste? Better to smash them with the hammer and hose off the paste

#5 Try this for an acronym:

Observe

Identify
