The purpose of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure the security of the United States

Its the CIA's job to create wars.

Perhaps. That's another topic.

They were responsible for the drug wars.

On September 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing "Department of War" and "Secretary of War" as secondary titles to the main titles Department of Defense and Secretary of Defense. The terms must be accommodated by federal agencies and are permitted in executive branch communications, ceremonial settings, and non-statutory documents. However, only an act of Congress can legally and formally change the department's name and secretary's title, so "Department of Defense" and "Secretary of Defense" remain the sole official titles.

Means what? The department of war is its name all along. That someone momentarily renamed it "defense" while providing no "defense" what-so-ever has nothing to do with the fact it was always department of war.

Evidence of "no defense what-so-ever."
Further evidence of "no defense what-so-ever"

So, back to quoting AI with an IQ of 10 hum?

Did the DoD "deter war" or "ensure the security of the United States in the First Gulf War after Saddam invaded Kuwait? Saddam's invasion was over and done so war wasn't "deter(ed)." That war had nothing to do with the "security of the United States" either. So, AI is clearly wrong.

So your answer is to wage wars on others?

The war is already ongoing

You want him to stop wars right? Just because your troops are unarmed doesn't mean they're not troops. It just means they're stupid.

So the name change is political and unnecessary.

But changing the name of Fort Brag to Fort Liberty wasn't political and unnecessary.

Comparing apples to oranges, arent we?

 

[LichGold]

Other troops always said fort brag was a ghetto war. Maybe ppl didn't want to brag anymore

No, my answer is the US military is a tool of national foreign policy and carries out the orders of the President and Congress to that end. Defending the nation is just one role of many the US military plays in doing that. If defending the territory of the US and national sovereignty were the extent of the US military's role in things, then Germany and Japan would have won WW 2 as but one example.

Nope

Both name changes involves the military

Does anyone know what @T. A. Gardner was talking about?

 

[AProudLefty]

No, my answer is the US military is a tool of national foreign policy and carries out the orders of the President and Congress to that end. Defending the nation is just one role of many the US military plays in doing that.

So the name itself determines success?

We spent billions of dollars on the military and wars.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

So the name itself determines the success?

The name is irrelevant. But calling it a "Department of Defense" is a misnomer at best, a disingenuous lie at worst.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

So the name itself determines success?

No.

We spent billions of dollars on the military and wars.

And?

 

[AProudLefty]

No.

So it is childish. So childish Hegseth pranced when the label on his door is changed.

And?

And it hasn't changed.

What war are we to expect?

Complete waste of taxpayer dollars.

Calling it a "Department of War" shows that America is for war.

We are not for war. The military is already readied for war.
