We’ve now hit the point in the timeline where these morons thought maybe if we change the name back no one will think it was us.
“What? No, we are the Department of DEFENSE. That whole thing going on in the Middle East was caused by the Department of War. That’s not us.”

The Department of War was its original name. I’ve always thought it to be a more honest name than the Department of Defence.
When was the last defensive war the US fought?
Afghanistan is arguable, but it was primarily to prevent terrorism.
Our troops were guarding opium poppy fields. Then we had the opium epidemic.
The war on Afghanistan was in response to Saudi Arabia attacking the US on 9/11. As Obama’s released documents showed, the US government knew that it was Saudi Arabia, but likely due to business reasons, Bush/Cheney decided to attack other Middle Eastern countries for their oil instead and call it a War on Terror ™.
Right…“terrorism”. And Iraq had WMD’s too.
Just like people swat beehives to get rid of bees.
We’ve known for quite some time that our adventurism in the Middle East (and elsewhere) is among the biggest drivers of terrorism.
primarilyOstensibly.
Nominally.
