At least it is accurate. The Americans are a warlike nation founded on a genocide. Orwell wrote extensively on the power of words to change a narrative and the way we feel, it is insidious and very common in the world of politics and business in a way that it is absolutely uncommon in the world of science where only the truth matters. The oil industry convinced us that we ought to soften Global Warming to the more benign Climate Change for no other reason than it makes them look less culpable. Hilarious that trump would choose this thing to tell us the truth. Gotta start someplace I guess.
“Global Warming” tended to generate doubters each time winter was cold, unfortunately - the bathtub analogy helped a bit.
Isn't it interesting? For people who hate "woke" and rally against gender identity transitioning, they sure love transitioning the identity of an entire government department and complaining when people dead name it. Snowflakes, the lot of them.
did they officially change it from defense? that might be the first honest thing they've done in their miserable lives in pursuit of fascistic grandstanding.
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
So the orange Cheeto, who is trying to get the Noble Peace Prize… just wrote an EO rename things to the Department of War
God I wish you could turn cognitive dissonance into harnessable energy.
He was also an undercover FBI informant in the Democraric hoax that are the Epstein files.
Plus the FBI just released an official document setting the record straight; Definitely not a small penis.
the thing to do here is to continue referring to it as the DoD. I know that nobody of any consequence will do anything that could be construed as interesting but a person can dream
Just Sec of Pestilence, Famine, and Death now.
RFK Jr. has the pestilence thing covered.
So Donald or anyone in his family are going to do their service now then?
Right?
Used to have a roommate like this in first year of college. They just stick to this one stupid thing that they thing are hyper-masculine (in his case, it was going shooting and owning big guns) and they won't shut up about it. These fuckers are so annoying. Like we get it bro, you're a big manly man, now stfu about it. These are usually the most childish people irl.
This is what happens when you have no personality.
And I’ll be a ten that he’s complained about “vegans always telling everyone about it”.
I hope he found Crossfit, at least then it's expected.
He must be a true warrior.
He must be a true wario
I dunno, it's a pretty huge deal of a change. It's literally historic and a major sign of the times. As others have pointed out, I actually enjoy this less duplicitous name. But the context of the change does not bode well.
So, yes and no - It was the "Department of War" for most of the country's existence. Truman changed it in 1947 when doing a massive overhaul of the military and intel parts of the government. Also, just calling "Department of Defense" hasn't prevented us from getting into a whole mess of wars since then.
I do agree that it's a sign of the times in terms of "everything old is new again" and undoing the 20th century, which is the T47/project 2025 stated goal. Sure as shit, we're making incredible progress towards returning to 1860.
FDR changes name from War to Defense, and Congress hasn't declared War since. They're just special military operations
Pretty much. We bombed Vietnam and killed a bunch of middle eastern people. Just a bunch of special military operations.
Looking into it, the department of war had removed the navy 150 years before. Arguably the DoD was a new department to encompass the department of the navy and the department of the army(the previous department of war) without the implication that the army was in charge being associated with the war department without the navy for so long. The naming, I could argue, is disrespectful to the US Navy of the late 1790s to the late 1940s.
Might as well call it what it is. "The Department of Imperialism".
I thought that was the CIA
That was when we still cared about being part of the UN so we would just quietly do it behind the scenes
Liver damage needs to hurry TF up breh, he's so embarrassing.
You mean cirrhosis?
Liver sclerosis would be pretty bad too, if it were a thing
Look, man, I'm doing my best on a motor with no compression here 😔
Secretary of DUI, Kegseth
Imagine making "I'm the secretary of war of the most well funded military the world has ever known" as your whole personality. Sad, pathetic, get a hobby, get a real job

Makes sense to me
Just out of curiosity, how many wars have you people won on your own?
A couple engagements against Mexico and clobbered the absolute hell out of the geriatric of the Spanish Empire at the turn of the century. I would also go so far as to say European powers did essentially nothing against the Empire of Japan during WW2, but the Chinese fought a nasty decade long war against the Japanese with serious technical and military support from the US. The Pacific theater was essentially the US Naval Department (Navy and Marines) vs the Japanese Naval Department while the bulk of both Armies were preoccupied in different theaters.
Mmm, have to disagree on the European powers not doing anything against Japan. While true that the island hopping campaign of MacArthur was the majority of what was going on, the British forces were heavily engaged in the China Burma India theatre which was a nasty, nasty ground war that helped keep the Nationalist Chinese in the fight by delivering supplies via the Burma road and over the "hump" by air.
The Civil War?
Due to not punishing the traitors hard enough, we really only paused it.
Northerners: The American Civil War
Southerners: The War for States' Rights
Deep Southerners: The War of Northern Aggression
Deep Deep Rednecks: North 1, South 0, HALFTIME!
I went to college, only about 10 years ago, somewhere where the redneck fraternity chanted "1, 2, 3 Robert E Lee! 3, 2, 1 South Shoulda Won!"
Really? There was absolutely no French assistance there?
Well, they also lost that one.
The confederates had indirect help from some other countries, but they didn't win so... Yeah.
