The only change I agree with is department of war. The US doesn’t do defense.

I agree. It was odd seeing people get up in arms about that change.
I see what you did there…
To be fair, yes, it was originally the Dept. of War. It actually is more honest. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, yadda yadda.
When it was the War Department, it only managed the Army, the Navy had its own cabinet secretary & department, and the Air Force was still part of the Army.

Good historical context, thank you. I’m not American so I wasn’t aware of these nuances :)
It is more about what we want the department to do than what they actually do.
