    Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

    *Secretary of Defense. Trump’s demands to rename the departmen are not legal. Only Congress can change the name.

    Every time someone follows his insane demands they give it validity. No one should be calling it anything but the Dept of Defense especially outside the US where his “orders” have no relevance at all. Use its legal name.

      To be fair, department of war is much more honest and accurate. Every single war the US fought since the end of WW2 was a war of unprovoked aggression. Using euphemisms like department of defense serves to obscure the true nature of the thing.

        This isn’t about accuracy. It’s about bowing down to the demands of a narcissist tinpot dictator.

          The actual bowing down that we’re doing is the refusal to call out an attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of their president.
