Falcon, Abrams, Patriot - How Does the U.S. Military Come up With Names for its Vehicles?

Learn how: - Army air defense missiles like the Patriot break the "rules." - Fighter jets get their bird-of-prey names (spoiler: "raptor" isn't what you think it is). - The Navy switches up ship naming patterns, leaving us scratching our heads. - And yes, I even touch on how NATO names enemy equipment like Russia's "Killjoy" hypersonic missile.
