I mean, that's what it used to be called...
more fitting tbh.

Kind of. The Department of War was the Army only. The Department of Navy was its own department and operated based on a different set of military demands, which was a major reason why the Marines exist.
It wasn't until after World War II when the USA recognized the difficulty in having two separate departments for the military made combined operations hard to implement. You also had the Army maintaining a larger peacetime size and a third branch, the Air Force, being created to optimize for a new theater of war.
Look out neighboring countries, the USA is switching to offense.
I switch my card to attack mode!
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.
Keeps Epstein out of the news.
Makes that 'are we the baddies?' a whole lot easier to answer.
We're not even a quarter of the way through this...
Yeah, Epstein would have loved that...
Ministry of peace
They missed a great chance to pull directly out of 1984 and call it the Ministry of Peace.
I seriously think that Trump is the singularity of what should be known as a Stupidity Hole. Seriously. Think about it. Information goes in and never sees light again. No data, written or spoken is ever allowed to leave once absorbed. And once the info reaches the Epstein Radius, It is unable to escape its doom, and is pulled slowly towards the center where it will be broken down into unintelligible sounds that resemble that of grunts and gremlinesque slobbering.
And the more information he consumes the larger his radius. As a child, his stupidity only influenced small things. Like, toys and his hands. As his gelatinous body grew, so too did the mass of his dumb.
Think Florida man just happened? Fuck no! That shit was Mar a Lago. The circumference of dumb envelopes Florida in its entirety and is now what’s known as a “lost cause.”
To be fair, that is a more accurate name for it.
president epstein, trying to do anything to not talk about himself. constant threat of tariffs since hes been doing for a while isnt working, he moved onto the troops in LA strategy, followed by faking "health issues", and insulting people. hes going to keep recycling this until people get tired of it go back to talking about the files.
It was known as the department of war until shortly after WW2. This is one change where I appreciate the honesty. Doesn't make him any better.
I mean, that's definitely a more honest name, how much of what they do is actually "defense" vs just imperialism
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.
We are stuck in a time portal to 1929.
I mean, that's exactly what it was lol.
I voted for Trump because I was TIRED of getting into Wars!
Sounds like the propaganda worked wonders on you.
I think you missed the sarcasm
If you really did so, I have a question for you: Why did you think you could trust him?
It's not even that nice when you abbreviate it:
Before: DOD = Dee Oh Dee. Has a nice flow
Now: DOW = Dee Oh Dup?
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
Now rename the IDF to the IOF.
