The Trump administration is drawing up plans to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War, according to a White House official, following up on the president’s push to revive a name last used in 1947...

 “As Department of War, we won everything. We won everything,” Trump said Monday, referring to wars fought before the creation of the Department of Defense after World War II. “I think we’re going to have to go back to that.”

A Dept. of Defense by any other name would smell less sweet?

The sad thing is that it could be true.

sounds like bs.

getting desperate for anti trump content? 

 

 

 

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

 

 

Well this a guaranteed Nobel Peace Prize winning move..........is he going to bomb Oslo I wonder?

I think it's a good idea, let our enemies know we will do more than just play defense.

At the rate Trump is going, those enemies will also include former allies. This kind of christening will only hasten the process.

Yes, Trump's notion that changing the name of the Defense Dept sounds like BS to me too. But Hegseth himself has advocated for the change in the past.

Trump wants a renamed War Department. What Pete Hegseth thinks, what it would take.

PresidentDonald Trump has suggested changing the name of Defense Department back to its pre-World War II moniker as the War Department, after his claimed success in bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities.At the conclusion of a June 25 NATO meeting in the Netherlands, Trump introduced Pete Hegseth as “secretary of war.” Trump said the name of the War Department, the precursor to the Defense Department, was visible on the wall of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House, where the agency was once housed.

Would make sense, as US isn't defending anything in the USA, not even it's borders.   Just profiting from conflicts, that don't even involve the USA, like all the other arms dealers.  You know, like those 5 permanent members of the Useless Nation's security council. 

 

Nobody has actually wanted to win a war, since WW2, except those being killed, as simply isn't profitable to end any conflicts.   Sort of like curing cancer ... counter productive to profits.

 

Humans ... killing for sport and or profit.  Shameful species.  Earth would be a better place without such a species.

You mean the leaders of the EU who just went to the White House? They all looked pretty chummy with Trump to me.

With Fawlty Towers, it was don't mention the war.

 

With Trump, it's don't mention Epstein.

Without a doubt true.

What do you expect on such an occasion? For them to give him the finger?

The delegate from PETA has spoken.

What an amazingly STUPID idea. They changed the name to the Department of Defense for a REASON!!!

Ostensibly, the United States military is a DEFENSE force, NOT an army of meddling colonizers. Admittedly, the use of the military of late has been to get the country bogged down in unwinnable wars. It's time for those days to END!!!

I don't think you understand. Once that name is changed, America will start to win wars again.

You are correct.  I DON'T understand that and never will.

You need to mind meld with Trump. There's not much there so it's easy to miss.

Just look how weak European leaders are, often barely able to get a majority together for their government, or presidency...

Well if we delve into names, the original (old English) meaning of Trump is certainly not sweet smelling!

Confirmed, this nonsense is true.

Stop it ... to rename the DOD, takes Congressional approval.   Not going to happen.   

 

It will simply be DoD aka DoWar, not an official renaming.

 

Y'all need a life to get back to

Because that's what people are going to pay attention to? The footnote that it's not official. Even though the President, Secretary of Defense, etc will now be calling it the Dept. of War? Give us all a break.

To me, of late, it's the department of murder, or invade & occupy sovereign countries for now reason.   Pick one.

 

Who cares what he wants to call it the next 3+ yrs.   This is the best y'all can come up with.

 

Again, y'all need to get a life IMHO

Not one that revolves around one person, who literally has no major affect on your life.  Let that sink in.

When you need to resort to talking about other members private lives, that doesn't show how little of substance they have to offer. It's you who is offering insubstantial nonsense.

Are you claiming that members of aseannow.com are also in the Epstein files? Or that they're pedophiles? Or are you just offering up more nonsense?
