This is true. It is a game written from an American viewpoint, predominately by Americans.
However, we are a global community. We have the opportunity as a community to rewrite and correct certain things (take the DC group as an example). Why, a quarter of a century after it was initially written, should we continue to use outdated, inaccurate and generally one sided terminologies?
Yes, individual areas would have their own names for events, this being ever more common as communications broke down (civilian communication and media networks would be hit very hard by EMP and the nukes themselves in my opinion), but does that mean we, as a global community have to use such localised terminology?
Off the top of my head "First Strategic Strike", "Balistic Missile Day", even "Hell Day" (amongst many others) would be just as relevant, and perhaps more accurate than TDM especially since, as Webstral has pointed out, the strikes didn't actually occur on that day...
If the attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon had occured a day later, I rather doubt the event would be refered to as 9-12...
