Really doubling down on that, "he actually is the antichrist" thing.

    They have think-tanks dedicated to coming up with the worst decisions possible, for real.

    Might as well. It was originally called that, and the DoD name was always kind of a lame coat of off-white landlord paint.

    Yeah but it's the death of a euphemism. It was good that they had to use a euphemism.

    I'll bite. How is that?

    Edit: I watched the death of a euphemism video and understand your point now. My original comment was less of a serious assertion and more voicing my general disdain for the idea of crossing out "War," writing "Defense," and continuing to invade countries for decades anyway.

    Lmfao finally something I'm glad he's doing!

    The name change was fucking psychological manipulation for the population. You can't argue against defense department spending as easily as you can argue against war department spending.

    Bring it on! Make our jobs easier you bumbling brainrotted doughnut dictator.

    If we're honest, this new name more accurately describes the American military than the word defense does

    I'm so glad President Trump is focused on the important issues, like renaming bodies of water, mountains, schools, and federal institutions. I didn't need lower grocery prices anyway.

    Good.

    It should be. At any point in time the US is involved in 5-10 wars since Obama.

    Calling it the Dept. of War is honest.

    This is so sad

    Also, I think the entire world may need to prepare themselves for invasion.

    I seriously hope that Europe and Canada are preparing because this shit stain will start playing the land grab game soon

    They missed a great chance to pull directly out of 1984 and call it the Ministry of Peace.

    Who would have thought Americans would be so weak in the face of a fascist takeover. It's truly pathetic.

    I mean...we've been fucking the world up since Korea and Vietnam. Arguably also WW1 (2 we sort of had an excuse because of Japan). And South America before that.

    In theory it is the idea that we minimize harm to the heartland by engaging threats/"threats" before they burn down the white house again (mad props to Canada).

    But nah. This is just the republicans continuing to be fucking morons. Like when perry (?) campaigned on killing the DOEnergy, got appointed as head, and realized that there were nukes next to all that clean coal.

    Sounds expensive. How much does it normally cost to rebrand an organisation of this size?

    (and that's without needing to rewrite references to it in any legislation!)
