Trump to Sign Order Renaming the Defense Department as the Department of War

[Hume]

President Trump will sign an executive order on Friday renaming the Department of Defense as the Department of War, the White House said, fulfilling the president’s pledge to realign the mission of the armed forces by reverting to a name used for over 150 years until shortly after World War II.

Oh and another thing , we might expect it sooner then later, Trump says we can NOT hold elections if we are at war.
I guess we didn't have any during WWII. The Korean war, Vietnam , Iran and Iraq.
WOW according to Trump we could NOT hold elections during those wars , so how did we?

A more fitting name would be the Department of Losing Wars.
