Wasn't there a name change? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world [S] 30 points 7 months ago (1 child) They are officially still the DOD. The name change has never been officially approved despite Hegseth choosing to identify with a different pronoun. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] regedit@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago Department of War when they can blow up innocent civilian fishing boats that can't fight back. Department of Defense when they get fucked up from someone who can, and does, fight back. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 16 points 7 months ago They can't keep things straight. Got an ad recently for military service that was "Paid for by the Department of War." Plus, it makes the war sound better if it's fought for "defense." Whatever aims to make them sound better at any given time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] keyez@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago They snuck in DoW as a secondary name which didn't need approval. The official name on contracts is still DoD or I guess if the person wanted they could replace Defense with War but it's all just a waste of time. permalink fedilink source parent
