Trump Moves to Rebrand Pentagon as Department of War
In a significant shift, President Trump is set to sign an executive order renaming the Department of Defense to the historic title of Department of War. This rebranding effort aims to underscore a more aggressive military identity. The White House has confirmed plans to proceed with this change, prompting discussions among lawmakers, including Rep. Ryan Zinke and Sen. Mike Lee, who are backing this initiative. Critics have voiced concerns, suggesting that the new name might evoke authoritarian sentiments, while supporters argue it reflects a strong commitment to national security.
