Well duh; it’s the department of war not the department of defense.

(Hopefully obvious /s)

The truly sad part is that it's still the Department of Defense, only Congress can change that. They're giving it a second name to puff themselves up, or is it to win the Nobel Peace prize when they eventually drop the new name?

they should just call it the department of offensive materials.

Oh fuck, I hadn't heard about the fucking gibbering idiot dropping yet another mask and saying all the quiet parts out loud.

If we're going to change the name, it should be the department of the military/armed forces.

Or the department of Foreign Acquisition Gathering Systems.
