return2ozmaDepartment of Defense to be renamed 'Department of War' within week, Trump says
MiDaBaIf we’re honest, this new name more accurately describes the American military than the word defense does
It actually used to be called “Department of War”. It changed in 1947, which was actually right around the time when the United States went full worldwide imperialism (though there were signs well before then).
UnderpantsWeevilMight as well have been named the “Department of Fighting Communist Insurgencies”. Truman and Eisenhower unleashed wave after wave of US troops on any pre-ww colonial territory that was trying to throw off the yoke of European occupation.
It’s always interesting to see how and why we’re living in bizarro world.
Thumbs up to orange man for correcting this mistake.
Say what you will (and there is a lot to say), but MAGA tends to want to undo bad neoliberal habits too.
