The thing about comparing this all to Idiocracy is that President Camacho genuinely wanted to do a good job for America whereas our current leadership has about the same motivations that Alaric did when he sacked Rome

He doesn’t have the power to do this, the name is established by law. But also the old War Department never included the Navy. It’s really not correct to say War was renamed to Defense, that’s not what happened. A new thing was created (briefly under another name, NME) by the War + Navy unification.
