There is. They're insecure man-children who played too much Call of Duty.

I think it's accurate.

"War" is the application of violence for political ends. "Defense" is only a subset of that.

>I'm pretty sure they renamed it the daprtement of war, for some reason.

Nope. Actually renaming it was too long and complicated a process, so instead they're pretending they renamed it.

Polling I saw says only about 18% of Americans are calling it that, with 72% sticking with the actual legal name (Department of Defense). Even a majority of Republicans are still calling it the Department of Defense.

The other name changes by the Trump administration are also not catching on.

70+% also continue to call the Gulf of Mexico "Gulf of Mexico".

A large majority also continue to call Mount Denali "Mount Denali".

A significant majority is still calling the Kennedy Center that instead of "The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts".

Only Congress can rename it.

*sigh* No, it wasn't not renamed, in the same way that a cape-wearing 4-year-old isn't actually changing his legal name to SuperBadguyKillerMan.

It used to be named the Department of War and Palmer Luckey suggested naming it back. People agreed, so they did. It's just another part of changing the posture to match the philosophy that the best defensive is a good offense. It seems to be working pretty well, if you know what we're defending against.
