Well duh; it’s the department of war not the department of defense.

(Hopefully obvious /s)

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

The truly sad part is that it's still the Department of Defense, only Congress can change that. They're giving it a second name to puff themselves up, or is it to win the Nobel Peace prize when they eventually drop the new name?

Oh fuck, I hadn't heard about the fucking gibbering idiot dropping yet another mask and saying all the quiet parts out loud.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

hes defending himself from all the epstein stuff.

If we're going to change the name, it should be the department of the military/armed forces.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 0 points 2 weeks ago

Or the department of Foreign Acquisition Gathering Systems.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

they should just call it the department of offensive materials.

The plan must be to flood our adversaries with vulnerable services so all their manpower is tied up in attacks on low-impact systems.

...and so they stand by and laugh about some stupid details while their democracy is teared down and cruel dictatory is built up right there before their eyes.

cruel dictatory is built up right there before their eyes.

Technically incorrect; they're part of it, so they're on stage.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm afraid they don't believe that either.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think it's like that. I think if they have nothing to laugh at, they would all kill themselves which would also not help

[–] mriswith@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

Doesn't defend!? They're straight up just posting the stream keys..

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So, getting rid of the Defense moniker is truth-in-advertising like how you can't call em fruit loops if there ain't any fruit in em?

[–] trailee@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

That’s why it’s spelled Froot.

[–] syreus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's spelled that way because Fruit Loops was too generic to trademark. There is a story about froot loops changing its name due to a lawsuit but that was proven apocryphal. There are other brands with this being a real issue that happened.

In 2020 there was an Australian lawsuit with hopes to force Kellogg to change the name because Froot Loops had over the years become a slur for disabled people. It's failed.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Dumbest administration, ever.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

No one qualified wants to work with these clowns

why the fuck would the intercept report on this and alert the government to it so they can fix it?

[–] Hond@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Obviously these are honeypots.
