Why did it get change the first time originally it was department of war
Department of war gets set up in times of war such as WW1 and WW2. The US has enjoyed sole superpower status since 1991 when the USSR was dissolved. Seems like we are getting bored with kicking small guys around.
The War Department existed for 158 years, from August 7, 1789, to September 18, 1947,[1] when, under the National Security Act of 1947, it split into the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force (which, together with the Department of the Navy, formed the National Military Establishment). In 1949, the National Military Establishment was renamed the Department of Defense.
@samueltyler2 I can tell you get all your news from these cows.
How is renaming a government agency somehow moving backwards? What else do you think is going backwards? The economy is good. We aren't at war anywhere. DC is violent crime free for the first time in decades. Gee! That's going backwards, isn't it?
Oh, and the word Democracy does NOT appear in any of the founding documents. America is not a democracy. It is a constitutional Republic.
The only experiment that has failed miserably is the welfare state, (which takes up 70 percent of the federal budget and is the sole reason why the country is trillions of dollars in debt.)
