I mean, it's a more accurate name I guess. It's concerning that they're dropping the euphemism, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention.

This just screams to me "I'm an old man and I'm butthurt about it."
He probably just forgot it was renamed to DoD, then decided to change the name cuz his 80 going on 90 year old brain has zero plasticity.

It was known as the department of war until shortly after WW2. This is one change where I appreciate the honesty. Doesn't make him any better.
Now rename the IDF to the IOF.
give me nobel peace prize or else
I think the only logical next step is for him to get an "I'm the bad guy" t-shirt. His supporters would still say it was just a joke.
Its sad and depressing that the sketch with the nazis asking if they were the baddies are more self aware than modern maga
This is actually great. It is a big problem that department of offense has always masqueraded as national security instead of insecurity.
Is this him finally fulfilling his promise to restore honesty in the government?

This is a great sign. When they changed the war department to defense department, its primary mission went from defense to war. Now maybe it can go back.
Can anyone else load the article? I couldn’t. Does it address this?
At least he's showing what America has always been. A power hungry warmongering country.
He gets dumber by the minute
The president of peace and all that.
We all agree this is just distraction and the arbitrary nonsense is really the point: "we make up what is true" is what they are trying to show.
Please get this man some more hamberders, fries and cokes. Also, maybe some doritos, fried butter sticks and corn dogs, stat.
Also, he's a pedo that was best friends with a pedo.

I guess war is easier for him to spell...?
What's actually his idea behind that?
