The Pentagon has formally asked Congress to rename the Department of Defense to the 'Department of War,' following an executive order issued by President Trump last September. According to The Hill, the Pentagon is requesting $52 million to cover the entire renaming process, including signage, stationery, and other administrative changes. The move has sparked debate over the symbolism of reverting to the pre-1947 name.
