Most of US tax dollars is going to the newly named "Department Of War."

 

What is the message being sent when the Republicans change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War?

What's in a name? What are the connotations and the hidden meanings of words?

Do you think this Republican change in name is a good thing or bad thing for Americans and the World?

The military systems are very expensive in money and life. Does the creation, use, and nurturing of military systems benefit or harm life on planet Earth?

The military budget in the US is the largest line item with over 50% of federal tax dollars going on the military. This portion of the budget is so large it cannot be effectively audited so we don't even know precisely where are tax dollars are going.

Edwin Starr's great song "War, what is it good for?" came out in 1970 during the Vietnam war. Nothing much has changed since then given the US involving itself in all kinds of wars.
