The Department of Defense has just been renamed the Department of War. And surely renaming a U.S. agency that drops bombs on a boat from Venezuela, on bunkers in Iran, on Houthis and Yemeni, is just telling the truth when it calls itself the War Department.
The U.S. continues to supply the weapons to exterminate tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. It spent 20 years in Afghanistan and nine years in Iraq dropping bombs and shooting people dead, without calling them wars.
The U.S. military has been the biggest spender in the world for more than 100 years, with a military-industrial complex that outspends the next twelve countries in armaments and support to other countries’ wars.
They want to give themselves a new name? OK. They are just “telling it like it is.”
