Trump to Direct Pentagon to Use 'Department of War' as Secondary Title

Democratic narrative

This name change reflects reckless warmongering from someone who avoided military service and misunderstands modern defense. Americans want to prevent wars, not glorify them, and the Pentagon’s mission extends far beyond combat to include cybersecurity, humanitarian aid and alliance building. Money spent on signs, letterhead and bureaucracy would be better invested in training and equipment for actual warfighters. The timing is also troubling, signaling aggression to allies and adversaries alike, potentially undermining future diplomatic efforts.
