I think you’re missing my point.

If you don’t think their actions back up their name, would you rather them work towards changing that, or would you rather them change their name?

I’d rather they were completely defunded and by having a name that matches their actions that is more likely to get support. There is a reason the military goes to great lengths to whitewash their actions, they require at least nominal support from the citizens funding them.

I don’t think that would do what you hope it would. Undermining the US military would not result in the US not having a military. It would result in the US having a different military.

> work towards changing that

But if they demonstratably didnt.. Then it's propaganda right?

And if they demonstrably did?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_the_United_Nations
