Calling the military "defense" has always been doublespeak. Its literally the opposite of what they do. Department of war is the correct term.
Obviously this administration are all monsters, and they're changing the name because they think they think it sounds intimidating. But the name change is the one good thing this administration has done, clearly in error.
DoD uses to be called DoW, but was changed to give a better image of the country. Reverting back to DoW under this administration, is not the good sign people think it is.
Also, that joke Pete Hegseth can't even do a proper pull up, let alone a chin up. Pathetic.
I was thinking maybe the American public will start to question why we are spending so much on war. It is an insane budget and the doublespeak of it being for defense helped selling the idea to the public. Maybe he accidentally did something will will help reign in our over spending on war....
I hate that my Q family will believe exactly this: that he did it with the goal of waking people up.
I can see him stumble into some progressive policies.....He will kill the economy and have enough of an outrage about cutting Medicaid that enough of his supporters will demand trumpcare. He can also start trump bucks, a monthly payout, so that the economy will still be stimulated. Just pitch it to him as something he can take away from US citizens, if they protest against him. He loves his name on shit, so just name the policies after him and he'll probably think it's a good deal.

I would be more comfortable with the US government taking its $1.4T national security budget and throwing it in a big burn pit than I am with our current policy. I'm less concerned with the volume of money than in what it is being spent on.
I'm reminded of when Google took the "Don't Be Evil" motto off their homepage.
Yeah, it was corporate bullshit. Yeah, they've been up to no good for a while. But when you start changing out the "We're just here to do a good job" curtains for the "They're red so the bloodstains are less visible" ones, it can't help but make you a little nervous.
