They have to relabel everything-buildings, stationary, etc.

When the Department of War became the DOD, it was to unify the army, navy and Air Force (and I guess the Coast Guard) after World War Two.

Is Fatass going to design the new logo? Because that Star Trek ripoff he came up with for space force is soo kewl.

Every time the idiot comes up with a new idea (and I use the term loosely) someone needs to ask “How much is this costing the American people?”

I nominate Elizabeth Warren to ask the question.
