Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order renaming the Pentagon’s Department of Defense back to its historic title — the Department of War. Calling it a return to America’s “warrior ethos,” Trump argues that the U.S. secured victories in World War I and World War II under the War Department, but lost its offensive edge after the switch to Defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, now to be called Secretary of War, backs the shift as a cultural and strategic reset for the military. But will Congress allow this move to stand? Or is Trump rewriting America’s military legacy on his own?
