No, it's not the right thing and it's done for stupid childish reasons.

I object to the person who was turned off by that sentence in the blog post, because it fits completely in an article claiming that the US government is being run by man babies.

That "rationale" is childish and dumb:

> Project greater strength, resolve, and readiness to adversaries

Why does the mightiest most powerful military in history need to project greater strength? Insecurity?

> Emphasize offensive capability and "winning wars" rather than just defensive posture (Trump argued the "Defense" name sounded too passive or "woke,"

Calling Truman woke is childish and stupid. And why does the US need to emphasize offensive capabilities and winning wars, when the Trump ran on a promise of no new wars?

> better signals "peace through strength"

So you get mad about a euphemistic Department of Defense but eat up some weird narrative about peace through strength? Interesting.
