Then why is the department of war involved?

Exactly. Trump called it "small potatoes," so I'm thinking Department of Agriculture is in charge. At least it's out of Hegseth's hands. He's an idiot by MAGA standards.

But...they do call it a war...
By that definition so many wars would have been wars. Like ww2

Nothing is a war anymore. War has too many regulations and stigma.

Yes stab the people fighting your wars in the back. That will not backfire at all.
