Name change: it’s the Department of War now

That should really bring grocery prices down!

That should put the pedophile behind bars.

Trump ran on "no wars"...now he wants a Department of War

Exactly ^

A lot of his supporters claimed to support him because he wouldn't start any wars. Of course that was 3500 news cycles ago so I'm sure those same mouth breathers are 100% okay with this now.

His supporters love pedophiles when they say the hateful things they’re too scared to say on their own.

What was old is now new once again. Personally I like honesty from my govt. Dept of War is not only a long time previously used name it’s a more honest and accurate name.

I understand civilians like more sensitive softer gentler less triggering words.

…I understand civilians like more sensitive softer gentler less triggering words…

You’re assbackwards. The name was changed after WWII to reflect, and project, our overwhelming power in the new world order. But dumb shits like Trump don’t get that…that’s how ignorant these asshats really are.

Another possibility.

DoD is the name that came after WW2 and it is a gentler less triggering more sensitive name.

War is a vastly more accurate word for the US military.

Who better for that than Trump? He called January 6 '21 a 'Day of Peace.' He's having more fun with War and Peace than Tolstoy.

R10 flunked his U.S. history class.

R12 it was my only good class and my major. But nice try.

I spent over a year running missions constantly and getting shot at. We were at war. We were not doing any protecting of the USA. Only total fools today would think we were. But we sure as shit were at war.

War is a more honest name , our job is to kill, although DoD is a gentler kinder name. No one could argue that.

I will argue that’s not why it was renamed. And you know that, too —from basic military history. Bye

R7 posting at length to normalize the authoritarianism. Going out of their way to justify it and minimize any criticism.

Nice jab at "sensitive soft gentle" critics," too.

Gotta wonder about some people.

Who the fuck are these posters?

R14 I might disagree with you if I had any idea what your point is.

All I have said is that I personally prefer the name war because it is a fuck more honest than defense. The name change itself is not something I would have bothered with if it were up to me.

Let's call Trump the Russian Overseer of the Former United States of America, sonce that's a more accurate and honest name for what he is. And rename the Republican party the Russian Federation party.

Just being truthful.

He's going to announce the relocation of Space Command from Colorado to Alabama, attempting to help Tuberville in his bid to become governor.

And along the same line for the more PC crowd.

All US military services give out very large enlistment bonus’s. Up to $50,000 maybe more. All but one. The Marines don’t offer large $$$$$$$.

Guess what one US service meets its recruiting goals each and every month.. The one service most often thought of as killers. The Marines. And Marines have one truly major job and that is to kill people. Often killing people that has absolutely not one fucking thing to do with defense of the US :-)

I am trying to educate you guys as to the country you live it and it’s not the same one you might think it is.

R19, you're doing a great job, but please refrain from making and more errors like this one.

[quote]very large enlistment bonus’s

I don't have to tell you what's wrong there, do I?

Sorry, nobody on DL is interested in being given manosphere talking points. Try 4chan.

you can spell did you get a CIB?

It’s a military thread bout war and defense not a 6th grade spelling class for those that use the internet.

Thanks for your service :-)

You sound like a MAGA.

So, it’s not actually ALL. Thank you for your disservice.

The Marines: America’s Sacrificial Lambs.

An 80 year-old man, in makeup, with a laundry list of physical and mental infirmities, is declaring that he's The Warrior in Chief, in command of the Department of War.

The rest of the world will be laughing.

They ARE all laughing

R24 the Marines actually give out a bonus for some jobs. But the size of the bonus is nothing remotely close to what AF, Army, Navy offer. I was educating you not arguing with you, I was just trying to make a point .

I hope my clarification explains it in a way that you now understand and I am sorry if you felt misled before,

You can't fight in here, it's the War Room.

Nice link, OP.

So the Marines suck, just like the rest of them?

I knew it!

We're not sure we've ever seen a bigger joke.

El Paso County in Colorado where Colorado Springs is located voted for Trump in 2024 53.6 percent.

Madison County in Alabama where Huntsville is located voted for Trump in 2024 by 53.7 percent

Yeah move that Space Command Headquarters over .1 percent of the vote.

County lines are not always determinative —someday you’ll understand that fact. Even Trump managed to figure that part out…

“As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Carribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization,” Rubio said in a post on X after President Donald Trump referenced the incident in Oval Office remarks.

LOL I swear I was going to post a question earlier today on this very thread asking the question—-if it was going to be considered war or defense when we start to send our troops south to go after the drug cartels.

Looks like Trump and R35 beat me to it.

[quote] So the Marines suck, just like the rest of them?

I've always read that Marines liked to get fucked (and that sailors appreciated a blowie).

Blowie?

WW2 ended 80 years ago last month…

R37 every man just about anywhere loves a blowjob. But not a lot of straight guys want to do ass fucking with another man as you suggest. I am not talking about lifers in prison.

If they did the many men of DL who are complaining would not be complaining about spending a life with no sex.
