Cost to Rename Dept of Defense to Dept of War Could be $2 Billion

Officially changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War can only be done by Congress and would require updating thousands of signs, rewriting digital code and creating new letterheads, placards and badges.

No amount of taxpayer money being wasted by them is too big.

The biggest lie the GOP has ever sold was that they are fiscal conservatives.

BTW the CR to open the government includes $1 MILLION of Hawley, Graham and others who had their cell phone records subpoenaed in connection with J6 investigation.

$1,000,000,000 for a plane for Pedo47

$3,000,000 per weekend for Pedo47 golfing.

One of the biggest costs would be rewriting digital code for all of the department's internal and external facing websites, as well as other computer software on classified and unclassified systems.

Tells you how poorly written the DoW code base is.

It's just like Republicans to decide their Beta-Male Virtue Signaling is worth $2,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars.

Beta-Male Virtue Signaling is worth $2,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars.

Didn't DOGE save 1,000x that much? That should cover it.

@#2 ... Tells you how poorly written the DoW code base is. ...

That depends.

Was a requirement of that code base's design the accommodation of a name change?

If that was not specified as a requirement, then why should it be in the code? And if it was not specified as a requirement, then perhaps that the current code base cannot easily accommodate it may be more of a feature.

Based upon your comment, I'd proffer that your current trolling alias seems to favor a bloated code base, one that accommodates things not in the requirements spec.

When asked where the money is coming from ...

TRUMPY: I don't know. It's not for feeding the poor or them stupid little kids so I am sure I'll get it from someplace.

Does he think changing the "branding" will erase 80 years of lackluster performance in failed proxy wars?

I would keep the old signage so it can be change back in a few years.
