U.S. military operations will soon be run under the Department of War, an old name for the Department of Defense that President Donald Trump is reviving.

Trump will sign an executive order reverting to the Department of War as a secondary name for the Defense Department.

At the same time, the Tinpot dictator wants a Nobel Peace Prize.

Congress created the War Department in 1789, during George Washington's presidency.

[...]

The War Department name was abandoned during a 1947 Cabinet reorganization under President Harry Truman. [...] The name was changed to the Department of Defense two years later.

Which was Trump naming in reverse. Truman used the worst bombs in history, creating a nuclear holocaust in Japan, and he wants to call it "Defense".

"It used to be called the Department of War, and it had a stronger sound," Trump said. "And as you know, we won World War I, we won World War II. We won everything."

[...]

A White House summary of the order obtained by USA TODAY said the action would restore "Department of War" as a secondary name for the Defense Department. The order authorizes Hegseth to use secondary titles such as "Secretary of War," "Department of War," and "Deputy Secretary of War" in official correspondence, public communications, ceremonial contexts and non-statutory documents within the executive branch, according to the White House.

Somebody notify DOGE.

Yet [the] order, nonetheless, instructs Hegseth to recommend legislative and executive actions to "permanently rename the U.S. Department of Defense to the U.S. Department of War."

When Trump was asked on Aug. 25 if the name change would require an act of Congress, he suggested it may not be necessary.

“We’re just going to do it,” he said. “I’m sure Congress will go along if we need that. I don’t think we even need that.”

[...]

Sens. Rick Scott, R-Florida, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, filed legislation Sept. 5 to change the name. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Florida, filed a bill in the House.

That's how the government works now.

Yes.  The entire Trump administration is made up of a bunch of cosplaying wusses.
