In this episode of Old Enough to Know Better, our host dives into the history behind Trump’s decision to rename the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. From its founding in 1789 through World War II, America called its military what it was… war. Only in 1947 did we soften the language to “defense,” and with it came a culture of reactivity that has left us on our heels for decades. We’ll explore how words shape psychology, why renaming matters, and why liberals are losing their minds over the change. We’ll also talk recruiting surges, the left’s “warlord” hysteria, and why stopping threats at the source like Venezuela, Colombia, and beyond is smarter than waiting until chaos shows up in our living rooms. Buckle up. This one is historical, educational, and unapologetically blunt.
