We are working to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War, aiming to reflect the department's primary focus more directly in its official title. This change would also rename the Secretary of Defense to the Secretary of War.

Is this an attempt to be clear or just a weird historical throwback? Either way, it’s got me scratching my head.

If they want war, at least be honest about it—instead of calling it ‘defense,’ call it ‘what it really is.’

Sure, let's rename it the Department of War—maybe next we'll bring back muskets and trench warfare while we're at it.

Because nothing says peace like naming your defense agency after, well, war. Brilliant move if your plan is to scare diplomats, not enemies.

Call it the Department of War; calling it ‘Defense’ is the soft sell America doesn’t need.

Renaming Defense to War sounds less like governance and more like a midlife crisis in Congress.

Finally, some honesty—let’s stop sugarcoating what our military does and own it.

This bill’s like a cold shower for complacency—time to stop pretending and start preparing.

This bill’s so retro, it could star in a history documentary titled 'How to Ruin Diplomacy in Three Easy Steps.'
