War slogans or descriptions?

Associated Press (still the closest thing to unbiased reporting)
ARLINGTON, Va. -- Unlike earlier wars, nearly all Arlington National Cemetery gravestones for troops killed in Iraq or Afghanistan are inscribed with the operation names the Pentagon selected to promote public support for the conflicts.
Read all about it, from the Boston Globe (still NOT the closest thing to unbiased reporting).

Genealogy buffs will tell you they get a lot of info from headstones, and the more info, the better. So I see including the info as making it easier for those who come after us.
As for it happening without family approval, it reads to me like simple, human imperfection (NOT unheard of where the government is concerned) has played a role.

Matt, I think yer right, although I think the slogans are meant to inspire troops more than to try to sway public opinion.
War in Afghanistan. War in Iraq.
Those are sufficient.

WHICH war in Iraq?
I think a lot of people are just too thin-skinned and too easily offended. Sheesh.
