You just made my case.

We know you hate a strong US Military and probably a strong USA as well.

Like I said, take your virtue signally to a more appropriate venue,, such as DU or CNN.

“We know you hate a strong US Military and probably a strong USA as well.”

It’s people like you who have no idea what they are talking about that confuse the weak minded. First of all, I was attached to the military, as active for 21 years, and another 15+ years Department of the Army and DOD. I was one of the ones that made the military strong and made changes to make the one now even stronger. But I never intended to make them suicidal. Patton’s first part of his famous line was, “it’s not your job to die for your country...” So even old blood and guts had better ideas on how to use troops.

So unless you are willing to be the first of a frontal assault to walk into a high casualty action of ground force moving against an enemy’s front line, which you seem to think is the answer to conflict, then you just jump in there and most likely get yourself killed. We’ve buried too many using that tactic in our history. War is the last resort, not the first. And helping man use the ability to reason before the assault, saves lives, military and civilian, and not wastes them. And we’re the only animals on earth with the ability to reason.

He can call it whatever he wants.

But the official name can only be changed by an act of Congress. Do you see that happening any time soon?

You are absolutely right.

Trump just did an “executive order” which doesn’t hold in the long run.
Still, it’s a symbolic move aimed and trolling the enemies of America.
It’s not much, but better than nothing. Hopefully it will somewhat intimidate globalist Russia and its Islamo-Communist allies: Iran, North Korea, China.

And... The “Department of War” sounds pretty catchy. :)
