Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’ — Declares America Must Return to Offense, Not Defense - video Dailymotion

Oneindia

Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order renaming the Pentagon’s Department of Defense back to its historic title — the Department of War. Calling it a return to America’s “warrior ethos,” Trump argues that the U.S. secured victories in World War I and World War II under the War Department, but lost its offensive edge after the switch to Defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, now to be called Secretary of War, backs the shift as a cultural and strategic reset for the military. But will Congress allow this move to stand? Or is Trump rewriting America’s military legacy on his own?    #Trump #DepartmentOfWar #Pentagon #USMilitary #WarriorEthos #PeteHegseth #WhiteHouse #ExecutiveOrder #WorldWarHistory #DefenseToWar  ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.122~

02:39I started my sentence by saying, the Department of Defense, to which you said that just doesn't sound right.

02:49So maybe next time we're here, my card will read Department of War.

02:53But it's not, here's the thing, here's what people miss.

03:02It's about what the department is supposed to do.

03:10They did, our founders didn't want endless foreign entanglements.

03:13They didn't want endless contingencies and deployments.

03:16They wanted an empowered military that was, the handcuffs were taken off to fight to win.
