    Oh, so now they’re dead naming the Department of War. Crazy how they can’t even respect their own pronouns.

      I mean it’s really the only one that can actually do them.

      Though I guess I should brush up on American history, maybe it was the department of the interior that was killing all the natives.

        Killing all the natives can be blamed on the entire US government, you don’t have to pick a single department in the executive branch.

        Well, the DOJ has the ATF and DEA. Officially they’re only supposed to be domestic, but scoff what are a few federal and international laws gonna do?

    And now, suddenly, they find out why it was named the Department of Defense and not the Department of War in the first place.

    For PR and propaganda purposes. And now they just realized they made their PR and propaganda more difficult because of Dear Leader’s idiot idea to rename the department.

    The thing is, once you fired the first shot, you are no longer deciding alone if this will be “limited”.

      DoW is still not the legal name. All they did was change a plaque and some letterhead, not the law dictating it’s existence.

        interesting, had to look it up and you are half correct.

        it still is officially the DoD, although there was an executive order stating it can legally be referenced as the DoW too

        Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Secretary of Defense is authorized the use of this additional secondary title — the Secretary of War — and may be recognized by that title in official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts, and non-statutory documents within the executive branch.

          The executive has no actual authority to change the name of a department. So I am fully correct.

            you are half correct because department of war is now the legal name the department of defense can also go by

              Executive orders don’t make law.

                half right again, lmao

                The President can issue rules, regulations, and instructions (called executive orders), which have the binding force of law upon federal agencies but do not require approval of the United States Congress. Executive orders are subject to judicial review and interpretation.
