Defense Department Scrambles to Pretend It’s Called the War Department

Pentagon website Social media channels were fixed on Friday at the request of President Donald Trump to reflect the new “Ministry of War” personality enjoyed by the United States, which turned from the defense. Gov to war. Jouf – Reconsising the symbolic highlight that highlights the administration’s preference to drop force through the language of war rather than the defense rate.

On Friday, Trump signed an executive order directing the Pentagon to be called again in the name of the alleged Ministry of War, as he revived a retired name after the Second World War to celebrate America’s role to deterrence as the principle of nuclear annihilation.

At an oval office, Trump said the change was about the situation, declaring, “It is really a victory.”

“We won the First World War, we won in World War II, and we won everything before and between that,” Trump said during the signing of the matter. “Then we decided to go, we woke up and changed the name to the Ministry of Defense.”

Defense Minister Beit Higseth and other officials authorize the use of titles such as the “Minister of War” in official correspondence, although Trump also commanded Higseth to recommend the steps necessary to make the change permanent.

“We will go to the attack, not just the defense. The maximum killing, not the lukewarm legitimacy. The violent influence, is not a political correct,” Higseth said during a signing ceremony on Friday. “We will raise the warriors, not just the defenders.”

Every prior change – from the Ministry of War established by congress in 1789, to the National Military Corporation in 1947, to the Ministry of Defense in 1949 – through legislation. The allies in Congress quickly submitted a draft law to change Friday to the so -called Ministry of War, but it seems that the administration is seeking an alternative solution in any case, as it did in the past, whether by invoking emergency authorities in blocking the external aid approved by Congress. Currently, the “Ministry of War” is the title of “secondary” after the Ministry of Defense.

Within hours of Trump’s order, Pentagon officials reserved the Ministry’s social media platforms. Facebook, Instagram and X accounts of the Ministry of Defense presented the name and sealing the “Ministry of War” quietly, and adopted posters in contradiction to its legal identity.

As of 6 pm Easter on Friday, the New War Ministry page still lists all other social channels of the administration and its website as using the name “Defense”, as YouTube did.

To what extent the brand rename might be unclear, but any comprehensive effort would reduce taxpayers with the costs of hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, where each sign, logo, unified system, computer system and a piece of official papers associated with the Pentagon identity around the world must be replaced.

A prior effort to recommend the changes in military facilities that salute the celebration of the Confederate Union, carried an expected cost of $ 39 million and covered only nine bases. The real estate property portfolio in the Ministry of Defense extends hundreds of thousands of facilities, from the main bases to small outposts all over the world.
