No, you jump to conclusions because they fit your conversational position. If
you thought about it more possibly you could answer your own questions.

"? ... the mthr fkr' changed the name back to the original name...and it is a secondary name to what is still called the Department of Defense. Why would anyone even care about this? Who cares. Seriously man....that's as bad as wierdos freaking about the East Wing renovation. Fkrs' don't even know the history...of anything for that matter."

I said to you it could be seen as a small thing, as you see it, but that i thought it was important because it was another example of Trump taking congressional authority from it. Taking authority designated to Congress for himself. One small step on his kingship quest. You neither agreed nor disagreed. You ignored it.

I haven't seen that thought of mine mentioned in any articles yet, it should be.

An excerpt you surely read earlier:

The idea that a best offense is a good defense dates back to George Washington, who considered “prudence” — which differentiates sound strategy from ego-driven, shoot-from-the hip aggression — a key attribute of his leadership. Defense is the cornerstone of deterrence, a strategy that has long served the United States well. And as my son’s baseball coach used to point out: “if they don’t score, you can’t lose.”

Renaming the Defense Department would allow Trump to create conditions for a self-fulfilling prophecy, and those rarely go well for politicians who initiate them. Unfortunately, trying to stop the ill-advised instincts of politicians can be difficult for individuals around them. The head of Central Command, Adm. William “Fox” Fallon, found himself embroiled in a scandal that led to his resignation after Esquire magazine ran an article in 2008 titled “The Man Between War and Peace.” Fallon was quoted in the article as having said that the George W. Bush administration’s aggressive rhetoric toward Iran – “a constant drumbeat of conflict” was not useful.

Even acolytes must be careful not to rile the wrath of sensitive ego-driven leaders or risk retribution. Witness the long list of former Trump friends, staff members, friends and even political allies denounced when they seemingly failed ego-driven loyalty tests.

Officially changing the name of the Defense Department would require congressional action. Republicans U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and Rep. Greg Steube of Florida filed legislation calling for such a rebrand in their respective chambers. But the second Trump administration has already proven masterful at work-arounds, loopholes and simply ignoring U.S. law. Wanting this name change, however, communicates a signal of U.S. intentions that will almost certainly push panic buttons among U.S. allies regarding the logic and stability of U.S. leadership and policy, and push adversaries closer together, neither of which will be good for the country.
It's a good article you should read again ..

The self fulfilling prophecy of course in this case is war. Trump wants one, whether
foreign or domestic. In fact, remember Trump has already said he is at war.

"Seriously man," whatever that is supposed to convey.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
