Last week, we launched a fun little contest on Twitter (and if you don’t follow us yet, you should @WarontheRocks). We noted that the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) absolutely hates being called “Daesh” – a word formed by the acronym of their Arabic name. So we asked our followers: what other names would annoy ISIL? We offered War on the Rocks coffee mugs to the top three.
Well, our judges have decided and, since there is a tie for third place, there are four winners. There are…
First Place: Peter W. Singer of the New America Foundation
@WarOnTheRocks @Max_Fisher , DishDaeshDollies, Non-existential threat, Humvee thieves, McCainBait

Thank you all for participating! And fairly soon, you’ll all be able to purchase War on the Rocks coffee mugs, and shirts, and flasks and more on our online store.

I’m in dire straits, busted and disgusted. Can you send me a complimentary ‘War on the Rocks’ mug,shirt & flask package? Please, I’ll be your friend!
I say we stick to calling them “Targets in the open.
“
How do I go about receiving said mug?
