Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, August 25, 2025

President Donald Trump on Monday foreshadowed that his administration, in coming days, will likely change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Trump said officials would "probably" return the Pentagon to the more aggressive name it once held in about a week. Both he and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth " who has vowed to restore the department's "warrior ethos" " have repeatedly lamented the name change, which occurred after World War II. When "we won World War I, World War II, it was called the Department of War. And to me, that's really what it is," Trump said at a press event with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. "Everybody likes that we had an unbelievable history of victory when it was Department of War. Then we changed it to Department of Defense."

It Is more Honest. Admit it.

We don't wage Defensive Wars. Our last Truly defensive war was 1812.

No Euphemism. Novel.

It's Donnie's Dementia showing.

The Filters are GONE.
