1. El Costo Financiero y el Despilfarro de Recursos.
La principal crítica al cambio de nombre, impulsado por la administración Trump y Pete Hegseth, es el gasto masivo de dinero público, estimado en hasta 2 mil millones de dólares, necesario para actualizar toda la señalización, papelería y sistemas a nivel global, un costo que muchos consideran un despilfarro irresponsable.
- Trumps directive to change the name of the department of defense to the department of war could cost as much as 2 billion . The name change would require replacing thousands of signs, placards, letterheads and badges, at u.s. Military sites around the world. Ego insanity!
- Are you kidding me? its going to cost 2 billion thats with a b to change the name of the department of defense to dept. War?
- One mans ego cost us taxpayers up to 2 billion dollars context changing the name of the dept of defense to dept of war.
- The cost that is required to change the name from the department of defense to the department of war is enough to house every single homeless veteran in this country.
2. La Ilegalidad y la Falta de Autoridad Oficial.
Numerosos comentarios señalan que el cambio de nombre a "Department of War" no es legal ni oficial, ya que solo el Congreso tiene la autoridad para modificar el nombre de un departamento ejecutivo. Se describe la acción como un "apodo", "cosplay" o "título secundario" impulsado por la Casa Blanca, y se insta a los medios a no normalizar el uso del término.
- Actually, the name is department of defense unless congress changes it. Trump doesnt have that authority. Department of war is just a trump nickname, because he likes to sound tough in spite of his bone spurs.
- There is no department of war !! goes to show just how stupid he is. It takes an act of congress to change an official department name. That hasnt happened yet.
- Reminder neither whiskey pete nor trump have the authority to change the name of a department created by congress. Its still department of defense and his title is secretary of defense, not war.
- Its still officially the department of defense. No one actually working there calls it anything else. Department of war is a secondary title trump and hegseth use because they think it sounds cool.
3. Implicaciones Simbólicas y Filosóficas del Cambio.
El cambio de "Defensa" a "Guerra" es visto como un reflejo de una filosofía agresiva y belicista, en contraste con la misión original de defensa nacional establecida después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Muchos interpretan el nuevo nombre como una admisión de que el objetivo es iniciar conflictos y proyectar una imagen de "machismo" y fuerza.
- You dont change department of defense to department of war unless youre intent on starting some serious warring.
- Department of war is not just a name change - its an attitude - a philosophy change. Make war at every turn to appear strong.
- I think its meaningfully that trump changed department of defense to department of war. Pror to the change defense implied we only fight to defend ourselves. Trump changed that to mirror putins and netanyahus philosophy of aggressive imperialism. Trump is the president of war.
- The name department of war has a negative connotation. It makes us sound like war-mongers. Whereas the name department of defense implies that we are a peaceful nation but we will defend ourselves at all times.
4. Críticas a los Funcionarios Involucrados.
Gran parte de la crítica se dirige al presidente Trump y al Secretario de Defensa (o "Secretario de Guerra" autoproclamado), Pete Hegseth, a quien se describe repetidamente como un individuo no calificado, alcohólico y con un "complejo de inferioridad" que busca proyectar una imagen de dureza y beligerancia a través del cambio de nombre.
- The only reason to change the dod name is the pathetic need of candy asses in charge to feel testosteronic every time they say the word war.
- Pete hegseth and donald trump renaming the defense department to that of the department of war only shows that both of them have small minds and big intentions.
- Renaming the department of defence to department of war has to be the most stupid move ever. Pete kegsbreath is the most unqualified secretary of defence in modern us history.
- Department of defence sounds mature, powerful, humane, and tactful. Department of war sounds like a tiny-dicked loser playing with his toys.
