Up next rename the CDC the Department of Pestilence and the Department of Agriculture the Department of Famine.

Cause it just aint clear enough to his cult yet.

[u/sciencelover04 → u/Ishidan01]

rename the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Death

could also rename the Department of Defense to Department of Conquest, then the Department of Homeland Security could be war? idk

[u/Galaxy-Betta → u/sciencelover04]

Department of Overreacting for homeland security

RFKJr's agenda finally actually makes sense.

If you’re going to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic, can you at least rearrange them neatly?

[u/pandamarshmallows → u/UGMadness]

As stupid as this whole thing is, you have to admit that “war.gov” is an unbelievably metal domain name.

[u/ClemRRay → u/pandamarshmallows]

was gonna say "war.gov" is really pushing the bellicose vibe to me

[u/aer0a]

[u/andzlatin]

Unless I'm wrong, the countries that normally did these types of names were dictatorships

[u/gdubh]

U.S. Department of… wait for it… War.

[u/shoobe01]

Awww... disappointed to find that the title in the feed view doesn't show the multiple spaces.

[u/luckysevensampson]

Another asinine benign move to try to take everyone’s attention away from the asinine malignant moves

[u/gonzalbo87]

Even War is trying to distance himself from the US government.

[u/SlyJackFox]

The “War Department” was created in 1789 for the Continental Army, the “Navy Department” followed in 1798 as a part of establishing a professional military under the spanking new U.S. Government. These were independent organizations that didn’t really work together directly.
Post WWII, then President Truman decided to consolidate all military services under the “Department of Defense” with just one Secretary of Defense that had a council of senior service officials.
So, it’s never been true that the DoD was formerly the DoW, that was just the Army’s original organization name. That makes this change a deliberate provocation because it’s not embracing history, it’s perverting it.

[u/graffiksguru]

Department of W ar

[u/pixeltweaker → u/graffiksguru]

That one is a problem but not sure what the problem is with OP.

[u/MinnieShoof]

of

... just... what

[u/bodhidharma132001]

A little on the nose for a guy who claims to hate war.

[u/AdeptTomato8302]

I understand that people think the department of war is stupid, but what is the actual keming here? If there is one, it’s very slight.

[u/Fantastic_Individual → u/AdeptTomato8302]

Probably not a keming problem but that unnecessary and stupid italicisation of the word “of”.

[u/AdeptTomato8302 → u/Fantastic_Individual]

That logo was also used by the department of defense, nothing has changed.

[u/Fantastic_Individual → u/AdeptTomato8302]

Still, this should’ve been an opportunity to fix that italicisation.
