The Department of Defense is the P.C. term for the Department of War...

This isn't particularly Orwellian.

It was the Defense Department before December '41.

It became the War Department during WWII.

It reverted back to the Defense Department after cessation of hostilities in '46 or '47.

That's my memory of the events, anyhow.
