    Windows Central shouldn’t be parroting the U.S. government in mislabeling the Department of Defense.

      Especially since the Trump admin already made it clear that they don’t respect preferred pronouns. Why should we use the DoD’s preferred pronouns of Department of War instead of the Department of Defense name it legally has? DoW is just DoD’s preferred pronoun.

      I think you’re in denial. If they had changed the name of Homeland Security into the dep of National Security for example, you probably wouldn’t say that media outlets is parroting the us government.

        Because it’s still officially called the Department of Defense; only Congress can rename it.

        More broadly, it illustrates the administration’s use of illegal boat strikes and regime change as foreign policy tools.
