Calling the military "defense" has always been doublespeak. Its literally the opposite of what they do. Department of war is the correct term.

Obviously this administration are all monsters, and they're changing the name because they think they think it sounds intimidating. But the name change is the one good thing this administration has done, clearly in error.

I was thinking maybe the American public will start to question why we are spending so much on war. It is an insane budget and the doublespeak of it being for defense helped selling the idea to the public. Maybe he accidentally did something will will help reign in our over spending on war....

I hate that my Q family will believe exactly this: that he did it with the goal of waking people up.

DoD uses to be called DoW, but was changed to give a better image of the country. Reverting back to DoW under this administration, is not the good sign people think it is.

Also, that joke Pete Hegseth can't even do a proper pull up, let alone a chin up. Pathetic.
