  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

... Why? It's a way more accurate name.

[–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Because it was created by an act of congress and renamed twice by acts of Congress after ww2.

If the Republicans want to rename DoD they could have put it in their "big beautiful bill", but they didn't. So it's still DoD and should be referred to as such.

"Department of Securing Oil Profits"

"Department of Fascist Fucktards" or "DoFF"

Still a laughable (if it wasn't for reality) endeavor. It should be dismantled, not renamed.

Doesn’t calling it the Department of War make it easier to defund and eventually dismantle, though?

In this political climate? Hell no, quite the opposite.

And this political climate is all about never allowing another political climate.

You seriously going to ask that question after Trump won twice? This country is almost Warhammer levels of up its own ass about war being cool...
