    Thinking like that its a good thing right up until the voters are actually stoked about a department of war.

    Guarantee it wont be long until youre seeing red hats going off about how cool it is they finally have a department of war as if its a whole new thing.

    “Remember how much ass we kicked with only a defense department? Look out world! MIGHTY TRUMP finally made a department of war too!”

      I’m sure you’re right about a certain segment of people. I don’t think the euphemistic name is holding those people back from loving the military though.

      I do think it’s hard for Congress to sell the general public on “cuts to our defense” though, and cuts to the “Department of war” will be an easier sell.
