THIS MEANS THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR
By: Derek Varsalona
On Friday, President Donald Trump decided to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. So now, Secretary Hegseth is the war secretary.
I am concerned with this name change. Yes, it is great that we impose our muscle strength image, but it is not okay to impose our power on the rest of the world. This is exactly what this policy does. This policy, although it shows signs of strength, suggests that we are not a peaceful nation in international relations. Does this mean we look to start conflicts as opposed to ending them?
This means that war seems to be a first resort of the American government rather than the latter of making war a last resort when all else fails. This is a step back in time and a step backwards for the American public and brings about, sadly, the American war regime. As always, comments accepted.
