I was interested to hear the news reader on BBC radio last week refer to "Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defence'. So apparently the BBC aren't buying into the rhetoric either.

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.
