Globalists want it as the Department of War.

Americans want it as Department of Defense.

No more fighting wars for globalists.

To be pedantic, the Department of War is the old name for the Department of the Army. The Department of the Navy was its co-equal. When the US Army Air Forces became the the US Air Force, War became Army and the Department of Defence was established over all three.

"House Passes Plan to Officially Rename the Department of Defense to 'Department of War.'"

When demRATs Marxists get back in power, they'll change the name to something like, 'ministry of peace.'

Photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth installing a 60-pound “Department of War” plaque spread across social media within hours. I don’t know why they give a rat’s ass, they got a war now.

I recall an observation a Navy engineer shared: When we were the War Department, we never lost a war, but since becoming the Department of Defense, we haven't won a war.

When I began my engineering work, it was with the Bureau of Ships, which operated under the Department of the Navy. The War Department was in charge of the army.

Nancy Pelosi and Bennie Thompson spent $62 million to rename bases to appease their base and impose the ideals of Mao.

The name change during Truman . . . get us off the offense. That was the point. We haven’t been productive.

Lack of substance. We change the name, but don’t have a Declaration of War. Suits have destroyed this country.

Of course if it has to pass the Senate, like everything else it’ll be DOA.

Calling it the Department of War is a way of making clear what its mission and means of action are. This helps to maintain institutional focus.

Me, I prefer 48 stars on the flag.

At least then, we knew how to WIN wars.

The Department of Defense sets in motion the idea that America would always respond to threats and acts of war, and never fire the first shot.

The Department of War supercedes the other mindset, placing all on alert that those crazy Americans just might smack them in the nose, should they become uppity.

As with that town in Georgia, where it’s mandatory open carry, everybody gets manners over night.

The last time we had a Department of War we also had a Department of the Navy. Will we get that back, too?
