Shouldn’t the “defense” line item be called “war” now since the department has been renamed? It’s more accurate anyways.

The DoD was named such by the act of Congress that established it. The President does not have the authority to rename it, no matter how much he pouts about it.

		Touché on the actual renaming, but I kind of prefer “war” anyways. It’s a refreshing removal of euphemisms, of which I believe we have way too many. If you are on a plane and they announce they are collecting “service items” people might be confused and hand over their “service weapon” if they forget that one means trash and the other means gun. Good thing we have the TSA to prevent this kind of misunderstanding.
