And that’s basically it!
I'd suggest moving the coast guard and national guard, DHS, FBI to department of defense. Department of War/Offense that includes CIA/State department/NSA/Mind control propaganda is good. The $1T+ budget of department of offense represents $10k/year per tax filing household, and it becomes an obvious, even in "I like money" idiocracy state, that people could vote for a $10k annual dividend instead of paying for the department of offense.
It was already extreme BS to call US empire funding "defense".
How wasteful, since the US hasn't been at war since 1947...
Should be the department of military policing actions.
Let go Donnie!! Fuck grocery prices. This is what is important.
It's more honest, at least.
It's not even that nice when you abbreviate it:
Before: DOD = Dee Oh Dee. Has a nice flow
Now: DOW = Dee Oh Dup?
The Department of War had that victory over the Confederacy, too, right?
I know this is out of place in this time in history, but I believe that to have been the case in the (maybe far) past.
Who started calling them ministries of defense and amidst what pressures from society?
So back to the original name. No more double speak.
This is a good change.
Good.
Department of War Dependents Schools, or DoWDS.
Unironically the only based thing a president has ever contemplated doing, except, like, the emancipation proclamation.
