What's even more fucked up is that there's nothing preventing DoD employees from also betting on this stuff while simultaneously being the ones deciding the who, what, when, where, and why of bombing another country.

    I don't think they can actually change the name without jumping through tons of hoops, and we know they aren't doing that. So its still DoD they just call it DoW.

    Always cool when the commander in chief promises no wars, starts multiple geopolitically unprecedented conflicts and at least one war while renaming the department of defense into the department of war. Hope he gets the nobel peace price, he seems like he really deserves it.
