Aphids

I'm sorry if this was posted before, but...

Has anyone ever mentioned that aphids are bugs? Eaten by lady beetles?

I know OpAphid stands for Operation Acknowledge their Position and Help Initiate a Dialogue. But still, is this connection just a coincidence?

And "Aphid" is also the NATO reporting name for the Soviet/Russian Molniya R-60 air-to-air missile.

I didn't read the whole page, I don't have the time, but maybe there is something about this that fits into the story.

Hope this helps with something!

To be honest, OpAphid always made me think of the Aphid bug too!!

...or so you've been led to believe, anyway.



The real meaning? (from the ARG)

A = Analyze
P = Protect
H = Hinder
I = Infiltrate
D = Destroy
