> The Department of Defense is the Department of War

No, it is not, at least not technically. That would require an act of Congress, which hasn't happened. Despite what the idiots "in charge" seem to believe.

But those idiots "in charge" are what matters, right? Since they set the tone for the department, and lately they sure are acting more like a DoW than a DoD.

It's effectively the same. The EO declares the Dept of War as a secondary title. Formally it still is the DoD.
