Revert the name of the ‘Department of Defense’ back to the ‘War Department’

This accomplishes a few things. First, it’s honest. And lord knows we Americans love us our government/military honesty. It also reflects that ‘transparency’ the United States so enjoys touting hither and yon. But perhaps most importantly, it would keep the American mind focused on what it is America does best in the world these sad days – waging war. Winning or losing, or even why we do this barbarity, is a completely moot point. It’s not even seriously discussed in DC anymore. The waging, and the profit in the waging, IS the point. Just ask Dick Cheney. Given enough wine under the right circumstances, John Kerry and Hillary will both tell you exactly the same thing. WAR DEPARTMENT. Intent, design, function, message. Viola!
