Trump signs an executive order adding "Department of War" as the secondary title of the Defense Department, according to two White House officials who spoke to NBC News.

The order won't rename the Defense Department, but it will authorize Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to use secondary titles like “secretary of war” and “Department of War” in official correspondence and public communications and during formal ceremonies, according to a White House preview of the order. - Aired on 09/05/2025.

1. An endless string of bullshit distractions. How

Many more things can that bastard rename?

3. That's also what they do in Russia, they're always renaming cities, rivers, etc. depending on who's "in favor"

When I visited the USSR in the late '80s with my grandmother and her peace group, St. Petersburg was then named Leningrad. Beautiful city.

4. Trump is lead by the nose by Russian bootlickers.

2. At least he didn't go Orwellian and name it

the Department of Peace.

5. I'd actually prefer that, the Department of War sounds provocative

6. At 7:20 he slips up and actually tells the truth...

"Service to this nation is an incredible grift…uh, gift…"

Or maybe the General was trying to get the word out, subtly.

7. Great catch! Thanks!

8. statesmen such as truman and marshall named the dod, aspirationally i suppose

they had actually fought a consequential war and understood the inevitable result of mechanized warfare

this bozo, on the other hand .......
