    It’s not even deadnaming. That’s still it’s official name. It just also has an alternative.

    I honestly believe the Department of War is a better name though. DoD was named that to manufacture consent. “Oh, you don’t like defence?” The name DoW is much more fitting for what it actually is. It isn’t trying to trick people into supporting it. We haven’t fought a defensive war since The War of 1812, or arguably The Civil War if you include civil wars. We have not fought a defensive war for as long as the DoD has been named that.

    Fuck Trump of course, but that name should stay. It never should have been renamed to be DoD.
