Windows Central shouldn't be parroting the U.S. government in mislabeling the Department of Defense.
I mean it's at least accurate now, there is no defense when you are starting war with everyone
But MAGA only voted for the department of pedophiles. This is an outrage.
Especially since the Trump admin already made it clear that they don’t respect preferred pronouns. Why should we use the DoD’s preferred pronouns of Department of War instead of the Department of Defense name it legally has? DoW is just DoD’s preferred pronoun.
It's like it joined a cult and got a new name.
Yeah, there are all sorts of ways in which standing up to the administration is hard, but calling something by its actual name should be a relatively easy thing to do!
They aren't defending shit
Windows Central should be advocating for return of Windows Phone.
I think you're in denial. If they had changed the name of Homeland Security into the dep of National Security for example, you probably wouldn't say that media outlets is parroting the us government.
Because it's still officially called the Department of Defense; only Congress can rename it.
More broadly, it illustrates the administration's use of illegal boat strikes and regime change as foreign policy tools.
I would.
