For awhile now I have been calling the DoD for what it is…..the War Department….and now even a clueless boob like Donny sees the department for what it is….

President Trump wants the Department of Defense to revert to using the name it had until he was 15 months old. On Monday, the president again raised the prospect of renaming the department the Department of War, NBC News reports. “Why are we ‘Defense?’ So it used to be called the Department of War, and it had a stronger sound.”

• Trump, speaking in the Oval Office with officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth standing behind him, said, “If you people want to, standing behind me, if you take a little vote, if you want to change it back to what it was when we used to win wars all the time, that’s okay with me. Alright?”
• “It just sounded bad to me,” Trump said, per Newsweek. “Defense? I don’t want to be defense only. We want defense but we want offense, too.”
• The Department of War, created in 1789, was merged with the Navy and the Air Force in 1947 to create the National Military Establishment, per Axios. It was renamed the Department of Defense in 1949.
• Trump has discussed the possible name change before, but no official announcement has been made. He has also referred to Hegseth as the “Secretary of War” in posts on social media.

Despite the floated name change, Trump has emphasized his efforts to broker ceasefires and truces in global conflicts, pointing to successes in fights between India and Pakistan and Armenia and Azerbaijan, among others.

Excuse me but brokering ceasefires and such should that not be on the back of the State Department, after all it is suppose to be the top diplomatic arm of the government?

Personally, I think it should be renamed since it has started more wars and done less on defense…..if it quacks like a duck sort of thing….

Any thoughts?
