Hegseth: The ‘Department Of War’ Will “Fight Decisively, Not Endless Conflicts”
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
President Trump signed an Executive Order Friday officially changing name of the Department of Defense back to the Department of War.
The War Department previously existed for over a century and a half, from 1789 to 1947—and now thanks to Trump it’s back.
In the Oval Office, White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf explained the significance of the change, noting “From 1789 until 1947, our nation won some of its greatest military victories under the direction of a Secretary of War, operating within a Department of War.”

Hegseth added that it concerns “Restoring victory and clarity as an end state,” and “Restoring intentionality to the use of force.”

“So at your direction, Mr. President, the War Department will fight decisively, not endless conflicts,” Hegseth urged, adding “We’re going to go on offense not just on defense. Maximum lethality. Not tepid legality.”
“Violent effect, not politically correct. We’re going to raise up warriors, not just defenders,” Hegseth further remarked.
“America first, peace through strength, brought to you by the War Department… We’re back,” he concluded.
