Name change: it’s the Department of War now

That should really bring grocery prices down!

That should put the pedophile behind bars.

Trump ran on "no wars"...now he wants a Department of War

Exactly ^

A lot of his supporters claimed to support him because he wouldn't start any wars. Of course that was 3500 news cycles ago so I'm sure those same mouth breathers are 100% okay with this now.

His supporters love pedophiles when they say the hateful things they’re too scared to say on their own.

What was old is now new once again. Personally I like honesty from my govt. Dept of War is not only a long time previously used name it’s a more honest and accurate name.

I understand civilians like more sensitive softer gentler less triggering words.

…I understand civilians like more sensitive softer gentler less triggering words…

You’re assbackwards. The name was changed after WWII to reflect, and project, our overwhelming power in the new world order. But dumb shits like Trump don’t get that…that’s how ignorant these asshats really are.

Another possibility.

DoD is the name that came after WW2 and it is a gentler less triggering more sensitive name.

War is a vastly more accurate word for the US military.

Who better for that than Trump? He called January 6 '21 a 'Day of Peace.' He's having more fun with War and Peace than Tolstoy.

R10 flunked his U.S. history class.

R12 it was my only good class and my major. But nice try.

I spent over a year running missions constantly and getting shot at. We were at war. We were not doing any protecting of the USA. Only total fools today would think we were. But we sure as shit were at war.

War is a more honest name , our job is to kill, although DoD is a gentler kinder name. No one could argue that.

I will argue that’s not why it was renamed. And you know that, too —from basic military history. Bye

R7 posting at length to normalize the authoritarianism. Going out of their way to justify it and minimize any criticism.

Nice jab at "sensitive soft gentle" critics," too.

Gotta wonder about some people.

Who the fuck are these posters?

R14 I might disagree with you if I had any idea what your point is.

All I have said is that I personally prefer the name war because it is a fuck more honest than defense. The name change itself is not something I would have bothered with if it were up to me.

Let's call Trump the Russian Overseer of the Former United States of America, sonce that's a more accurate and honest name for what he is. And rename the Republican party the Russian Federation party.

Just being truthful.

He's going to announce the relocation of Space Command from Colorado to Alabama, attempting to help Tuberville in his bid to become governor.

And along the same line for the more PC crowd.

All US military services give out very large enlistment bonus’s. Up to $50,000 maybe more. All but one. The Marines don’t offer large $$$$$$$.

Guess what one US service meets its recruiting goals each and every month.. The one service most often thought of as killers. The Marines. And Marines have one truly major job and that is to kill people. Often killing people that has absolutely not one fucking thing to do with defense of the US :-)

I am trying to educate you guys as to the country you live it and it’s not the same one you might think it is.

R19, you're doing a great job, but please refrain from making and more errors like this one.

[quote]very large enlistment bonus’s

I don't have to tell you what's wrong there, do I?

Sorry, nobody on DL is interested in being given manosphere talking points. Try 4chan.

you can spell did you get a CIB?

It’s a military thread bout war and defense not a 6th grade spelling class for those that use the internet.

Thanks for your service :-)

You sound like a MAGA.

All US military services give out very large enlistment bonus’s. Up to $50,000 maybe more. All but one. The Marines don’t offer large $$$$$$$.

So, it’s not actually ALL. Thank you for your disservice.

The Marines: America’s Sacrificial Lambs.

An 80 year-old man, in makeup, with a laundry list of physical and mental infirmities, is declaring that he's The Warrior in Chief, in command of the Department of War.

The rest of the world will be laughing.

They ARE all laughing

R24 the Marines actually give out a bonus for some jobs. But the size of the bonus is nothing remotely close to what AF, Army, Navy offer. I was educating you not arguing with you, I was just trying to make a point .

I hope my clarification explains it in a way that you now understand and I am sorry if you felt misled before,

You can't fight in here, it's the War Room.

Nice link, OP.

So the Marines suck, just like the rest of them?

I knew it!

We're not sure we've ever seen a bigger joke.

El Paso County in Colorado where Colorado Springs is located voted for Trump in 2024 53.6 percent.

Madison County in Alabama where Huntsville is located voted for Trump in 2024 by 53.7 percent

Yeah move that Space Command Headquarters over .1 percent of the vote.

County lines are not always determinative —someday you’ll understand that fact. Even Trump managed to figure that part out…

“As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Carribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization,” Rubio said in a post on X after President Donald Trump referenced the incident in Oval Office remarks.

LOL I swear I was going to post a question earlier today on this very thread asking the question—-if it was going to be considered war or defense when we start to send our troops south to go after the drug cartels.

Looks like Trump and R35 beat me to it.

[quote] So the Marines suck, just like the rest of them?

I've always read that Marines liked to get fucked (and that sailors appreciated a blowie).

Blowie?

WW2 ended 80 years ago last month…

R37 every man just about anywhere loves a blowjob. But not a lot of straight guys want to do ass fucking with another man as you suggest. I am not talking about lifers in prison.

If they did the many men of DL who are complaining would not be complaining about spending a life with no sex.

[quote]President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Friday that will change the name of the Defense Department to the Department of War, a White House official told CNN. It’s a move that the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have previewed in recent days, including Trump in the Oval Office last week when he told reporters his administration was going to “change the name.” “We call it the Department of Defense, but between us, I think we’re gonna change the name,” the president told reporters on August 25.

Would have gone with:

Department of Evil Empire's Endless Aggression.

It’s the Dept of War and our job is to kill people

As they say—-in a nut shell.

The Department of War on Blue America.

What kind of a President sends "warriors" to invade places that didn't elect him, and pacifies the country's traditional enemies?

A narcissistic coward.

The media continues to commit malpractice by not pointing out that Trump cannot simply change the name of a department by executive order, it needs to be done via act of Congress.

Cartels. The Cartels are next. And I realize many on DL may not realize this but people who sign up for the infantry and teams and paras normally do so not because they want to spend years doing hard training but because they want to deploy. They will be happy and excited to go south and hunt the cartels.

Who wouldn’t? :-)

Every single executive order can be reversed on day one by a new President. Other than the big beautiful bill I can’t think of a single Trump act that is also a new law. So cuts to health care and tax breaks for the rich are the bottom line. But the health cuts don’t go in to effect until after the 26 election. The Republicans are good at gaming the system. The Dems suck at it. Republicans will do everything legal or not to win elections. The Dems are more like he once called a woman fat so we can’t run him for office.

What infantry will be used to fight cartels? Are we going to invade Venezuela. Blowing up boats won’t cost American lives. Trump knows going into actual combat with dead Americans would turn his base against him.

Or fire a great future president because he may have had a picture taken and he may have had his hand a bit lower ion the backside than being a future president warranted,

Me Too Me Too—-at one time that sounded like a winner. But then so did the trans and BLM incorporated.

The way the Dems won in the past——the Dems always had the larger numbers to start with, Now the Dems are the minority party in terms of actual numbers,

In related news, Trump never served his country in uniform, and will always retain his very small penis.

R49 what was your mos or rate?

I will assume you have a thick hard 7 inch + dick so no need to post

This is just like that fakakta "Gulf of America" bullshit.

He can't just issue nonsense proclamations to change names. Congress has to act to do this, and appropriate the tens of millions of dollars it would cost to change signs all over the world.

Congress will never allow this :-)

:-). :-)

:-)

Well you get the point.

Congress will probably do this, tucked into the next NDAA or "must-pass" funding bill. But they haven't touched it yet.

Maybe a name change like this , that most Americans won’t give a shit about , is where the Dems should make a hard brave stand against Trump?

Well I don't know about y'all, but this change certainly now makes me think of him as a big, strong man.

R55 Does the name change make you think of FDR and WW2?

This is clown behavior. It's like those "Operation Overwhelming Glory" type names that the U.S. now gives to its military operations. It doesn't matter what the name is if you have stupid people in charge. Yes, let's commit to an endless war on "the cartels." Let's blow an even deeper hole into our economy. Why not?

His idiot event will be overshadowed by today's news that the job market is now the shittiest it's been since the Pandemic.

Think of all the logos everywhere that have to be changed. Is this another example of that great DOGE efficiency and cost cutting?

It's wasteful. And it is one more thing that makes us look horrible to the rest of the world

Every country in the world already knows that the U.S. has the most toys that kill and thousands of nuclear weapons. You do not need to call it Department of War to project strength. Trump has never understood subtlety, geopolitics, or anything else except ordering people around.

Communicable Disease Center

Centers for Disease Control

Centers for Disease and Prevention

Kennedys House of Magic and Truth

OK one of those might be a trick and not the name of the CDC at times not all that long ago.

That said Trump is a bad man,

Centers for disease control and prevention .

What kind of a forum does not have an edit feature in 2925.:-)

Trump did it to honor Hegseth’s greatest committment to him and as someone who never failed him.

Unlike Hegseth’s previous betrayed wives and children whom he regularly betrayed and abused. The footage of the children accompanying him to the White House Easter Egg Roll was so hideous and damning. Little kid hugely aback and visibly scowling as Pete played victim to the cameras.

However, his newest wife, Jennifer, the former Fox producer with 3 kids of her own before dumping their father while pregnant with Pete, was there, too. Looking haggard as hell.

He probably keeps her around the Pentagon because he thinks she'll cheat like they both did before.

Nice to have some honesty for a change from the Government
