Mini-Post: $$$$$

The lord high ruler has decreed that from now and hence forth... the Department of Defense from now and hence forward will be known as the Department of War!


President Trump will sign an executive order on Friday to give the Department of Defense a new name: the Department of War.

The change would return the department to a name that it carried for much of its history, until it became the Department of Defense in the wake of World War II. The executive order was confirmed to NPR by a White House official who was not authorized to discuss the matter.

A White House fact sheet explains that under the executive order, the name "Department of War" will serve as a "secondary title" for the Department of Defense.

[...]

It's not clear whether Trump can officially change the name without congressional action, but he told reporters, "We're just gonna do it."
And he gives the middle finger salute and just spent millions upon millions of dollars in the name change! You know the cost to change the name of on the nine military bases cost around was estimated to cost around $62.5 million. So home much will it cost the tax payers to change the name? And you know that they next president will only change it back.

Oh, by the way, do you know why they are changes the name? Oh it is a doozy!
President Trump has previously signaled that a change was in the works. During an appearance in the Oval Office last month, Trump said that War Department "just sounded to me better."
Um... the name change will cost probably hundreds million dollars maybe a billion dollars because it "just sounded to me better."! According to the Times of Israel, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, "Hegseth has said that changing the name is 'not just about words — it’s about the warrior ethos.'"

Your tax payer's dollars at work for you!
