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

(Hopefully obvious /s)

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 on 10 Sep 06:59 collapse

hes defending himself from all the epstein stuff.

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?

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on 09 Sep 23:37 next collapse

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

dumbass@leminal.space on 10 Sep 05:53 collapse

Or the department of Foreign Acquisition Gathering Systems.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today on 10 Sep 06:59 collapse

they should just call it the department of offensive materials.

Doesn’t defend!? They’re straight up just posting the stream keys…

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

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 on 09 Sep 14:32 collapse

That’s why it’s spelled Froot.

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.

Exactly

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today on 10 Sep 07:00 collapse

because its made of froot.

…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 on 09 Sep 11:49 collapse

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

notarobot@lemmy.zip on 09 Sep 16:34 collapse

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
