    In the same creepy category, the Department of Defense used to be called the Department of War until 1947. Wouldn’t be surprised if they switched back soon.

      They won’t. They switched it because it’s easy to justify spending any amount of money on “defending” yourself. If they switched it back, it would cost them some support.

        Yup, euphemistic language is preferred. It’s all very Orwellian. Soon the Supreme Court will be the Department of Truth.
