And you're supposed to all of a sudden change because of a policy directive.

But yeah, I mean, we're going back to, I mean, it's ruffling a lot of feathers within the military right now.

uh changing the department of defense to the department of war which is and i'm not saying that they got this from me i'm just saying that they i've never heard anyone talk about it until i talked about it back in 2001 and i wrote some articles after the afghanistan withdrawal and i caught anyone on fox a bunch of times and talked about how we need to precision in language reflects precision and thought department of defense defense has a sort of connotation to it a definition to it and the department of war is different than a department of defense just the language of it

And I said, it's time to change the Department of Defense back to the Department of War.

And I used the Afghanistan withdrawal as that example and put that in two articles.

I think they both went on town hall, I believe.

But I talked about it.

And I'd never heard anybody mention that before.

Is that what it used to be?

It used to be the Department of War?

Department of War up to the end of World War II.

And then it changed.

And then it was official in 1947 with the reorganization of the military and our intelligence apparatus.

So 1947 onward became the Department of Defense.

Yeah, I certainly talk about it in here as a great conversation.

One of my favorite chapters is these two characters, Tom Reese and his buddy Quinn.

So one special forces guy, one SEAL, and they're having this conversation on China Beach.

And it was great to write those chapters and do all this research into China Beach and Da Nang and what kind of surfboards they were using, how they were shaped, like all this stuff just to bring you back to that to that time frame.

But that's what they're talking about.

Yeah, 1968, his dad.
