And now, suddenly, they find out why it was named the Department of Defense and not the Department of War in the first place.
For PR and propaganda purposes. And now they just realized they made their PR and propaganda more difficult because of Dear Leader's idiot idea to rename the department.
interesting, had to look it up and you are half correct.
it still is officially the DoD, although there was an executive order stating it can legally be referenced as the DoW too
Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Secretary of Defense is authorized the use of this additional secondary title — the Secretary of War — and may be recognized by that title in official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts, and non-statutory documents within the executive branch.
The President can issue rules, regulations, and instructions (called executive orders), which have the binding force of lawupon federal agencies but do not require approval of the United States Congress. Executive orders are subject to judicial review and interpretation.
Disgusting bunch of weirdos, please join me in celebrating every bad consequence that befalls them. And hey, let's do what we can to assure there are many reasons to celebrate.

I mean it's really the only one that can actually do them.
Though I guess I should brush up on American history, maybe it was the department of the interior that was killing all the natives.

Well, the DOJ has the ATF and DEA. Officially they're only supposed to be domestic, but scoff what are a few federal and international laws gonna do?

Killing all the natives can be blamed on the entire US government, you don't have to pick a single department in the executive branch.

DoW is still not the legal name. All they did was change a plaque and some letterhead, not the law dictating it's existence.

The executive has no actual authority to change the name of a department. So I am fully correct.

you are half correct because department of war is now the legal name the department of defense can also go by

Oh, so now they're dead naming the Department of War. Crazy how they can't even respect their own pronouns.

It's a "Special Military Operation," if you will.

The thing is, once you fired the first shot, you are no longer deciding alone if this will be "limited".
