Sure it may have been a euphemism, but the reasoning of this administration for trying to change it back is just childish and stupid: “We won the first world war, we won the second world war, we won everything before that and in between,” Trump said at the signing. “And then we decided to go woke and we changed the name to the Department of Defense.”
No, it's not the right thing and it's done for stupid childish reasons.
I object to the person who was turned off by that sentence in the blog post, because it fits completely in an article claiming that the US government is being run by man babies.
That "rationale" is childish and dumb:
> Project greater strength, resolve, and readiness to adversaries
Why does the mightiest most powerful military in history need to project greater strength? Insecurity?
> Emphasize offensive capability and "winning wars" rather than just defensive posture (Trump argued the "Defense" name sounded too passive or "woke,"
Calling Truman woke is childish and stupid. And why does the US need to emphasize offensive capabilities and winning wars, when the Trump ran on a promise of no new wars?
> better signals "peace through strength"
So you get mad about a euphemistic Department of Defense but eat up some weird narrative about peace through strength? Interesting.
