The US Department of Defense is now the Department of War.

The president has said he wants to rebrand the Pentagon to convey that the U.S. military is not just about defense but offense too. This reflects Trump's posture is his art of dealing with any entity in the world be it friend or foe. Is this a smart thing to do?

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.
