Trump has decided we no longer need a Department of Defense, but rather a Department of War. Whatever, but this is stupid. Once again politicians never think about the cost. How much borrowed money will we spend to change the signage on every building, create new letterhead, modify forms, websites, and requisitions?
Sure it sounds great, but doesn’t anyone ever think that it is my money and your money they are wasting on nonsense like this? Is there even one single way this helps with military readiness?
That is what I thought.

Joe, I hate to contradict you yet again, but renaming the Department is intended to reinforce its purpose.
It is not a specialized Department of State spin-off. It is intended to be a Department of people who break things and kill people, not go invade a country (like Iraq or Afghanistan) and then sit there for years trying to nation-build in countries that don't appreciate it.
As a History graduate of that fine university up in Crawfordsville, I'm sure you've encountered the maxim "Si vis pacem, para bellum." That's what we need to get back to after 80 years of UN mush about "no offensive war."
