> right after the next admin renames Dept of War back to DoD

It's never actually been renamed. They just changed the stationery and website: https://www.usa.gov/agencies/u-s-department-of-defense.

Just like how Trump called in workers to put his name on the Kennedy Center building. Changing the name requires an act of Congress: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/76i

Wat?! But I've already cut off the tags on my new Dept of War swag and apparel!

At least I have the new updated globe with the renamed Gulf of America. They promised to send overlay stickers once Greenland and Canada become US states.

Which is why I am ticked off every time someone at NPR calls it the Department of War.

I refuse to use this name. The historic Department is literally the US Army. The DoD is one echelon higher. It's simply retarded.
