Hegseth has said he wants to rename the DOD to the War Department. I have a feeling he has no idea that was its original name.

I think it is safe to say that he has no idea what a lot of things are.

I guess that he wants everybody to talk about the name of the department and not so much about his boss' pal, Elon Musk, getting more than 500 billion dollars for his SpaceX toy

Every country used to have a War Department. They were changed to the Defense Department because of the idea that war was no longer acceptable. It didn't work obviously.

My impression was the term "war" implied aggression. So they went to "defense" instead. My $.02.

My take: Wars end, but defense never does.

The people who claim they are against war are renaming the DOD the War Department? Makes sense… 🤭 #uspoli

War Department would at least be an honest assessment of the agency.

A perfect choice for the ‘No War’ President’s regime. It’s at the point that it causes me physical pain that his supporters believe this BS.

Isn’t it the State Dept that used to be called the War Dept?

Nevermind. I had thought they were renamed in the Civil War. Not so.

Actually it wasn't. The then-War Department was the precursor for the Department of the Army.
