Generally, I refrain from getting involved in politics. The headline that states our Department of Defense has been renamed the Department of War instantly alarms me; it suggests that our nation should focus on projecting strength and toughness. This change indicates that the Defense Department may no longer be sufficiently powerful to protect our lives and freedoms.
If this change is approved, the Defense Secretary will be titled Secretary of War. The last time someone held this title was during World War II. To me, changing the names is a political move supporting large-scale deportations of people considered threats and aligns with recent actions, like ordering forces to sink a foreign-flagged ship and kill 11 crew members, who are alleged drug runners. All of this creates a frightening, negative image worldwide. Some have even proposed awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to our leader. It’s worth noting that the award is not called “The Nobel War Prize.”
Are we there yet?
