The Presidnet of the United States of America has a knack for dissing those in the US Military that fought in combat….Some who where POW’s…A LOT who gave their lives….
In his effort to erase the US Militarty history….
He wants to call the US Defense Dept. the ‘War Dept.’….
It’s STILL the US Defense Dept. until Congress votes to change the name…
Don’t hold your breath on that….
Donald Trump in the past dissed US Senator McCain for getting captured as a POW….
Donald J. Trump never served in the US Military, which these days ain’t going to war…
They ARE guarding buildings and picking up garbage in Wash. DC…..
Some ‘War’, eh?
This from a convicted Felon Commander-in-Chief of the US Militarty Forces….
In explaining the change, Trump cited America’s track record of military success under the Department of War moniker through World War II and suggesting that the U.S. military underwent a change in attitude under the Department of Defense name.
“Really it has to do with winning. We should have won every war. We could have won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct or wokey and we just fight forever,” Trump said, flanked by Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.
“We had it, and we won World War I, we won World War II, we won everything before, and as I said, we won everything in between,” Trump added. “And we were very strong. But we never fought to win. We just didn’t fight to win. We would have won every one of those wars quickly, but they went a route that I think was probably politically correct, but not correct for our nation. So I think the Department of War sends a signal.”
Asked how the name change squared with his pursuit of peace and efforts to end conflicts around the world, Trump argued U.S. military strength helps ensure there are no additional conflicts.
Hegseth said the name change was “not just about renaming, it’s about restoring. Words matter. Restoring…the warrior ethos. Restoring victory and clarity as an instinct.”
The Department of War was established by George Washington in 1789. It existed until 1947, when it was reorganized by then-President Harry Truman.
It was renamed the Department of Defense in 1949…..
Note…
Trump HAS ‘forgotten’ about being the FIRST President to order the WITHDRAWAL from Afghanistan ….NOT Joe Biden…
