It's still the Gulf of Mexico. It's still the Department of Defense. It's still the Kennedy Center.
He wasn't shot. He didn't win. He's in the files.
- The only change I agree with is department of war. The US doesn’t do defense.
  
  Touché
  
  To be fair, yes, it was originally the Dept. of War. It actually is more honest. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, yadda yadda.
  
  When it was the War Department, it only managed the Army, the Navy had its own cabinet secretary & department, and the Air Force was still part of the Army. When it was all military forces were brought under a single department, it got renamed so it didn’t look like the Navy was being made subservient to the Army.
  
  Good historical context, thank you. I'm not American so I wasn't aware of these nuances :)
  
  I agree. It was odd seeing people get up in arms about that change.
  
  I see what you did there...
  
  I just call Pete Hegseth the Secretary of War Crimes.
  
  It is more about what we want the department to do than what they actually do.
  
  We also don't officially declare war.
- Exactly. I'll never stop calling it the Sears Tower.
  
  Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis Tower?
  
  Like how the Tappan Zee Bridge is now the Mario M. Cuomo Sr. bridge (they rebuilt it a while back, and its not named after Governor bad touch, its named after his dad).
  CT re-did their signs, NY re-did their signs, but NJ being the spiteful bastards they are (love ya New Jersey, keep it up) still has the old Tappan Zee signs all over the place.
  
  I actually don’t know what it’s called now. It’s changed the names a couple of times since then.
  
  It's officially the Got Milk Tower now because mammals have strayed so far from the path that they need a reminder to buy white drink. ::: spoiler Title /false :::
- Conservatives and their woke rebrands, too soft and sensitive to hear words
- It has always been the Department of War. Renaming it to "Defense" was a psyop to justify the "defense" budget.
