Trump's War Department Rebranding Sparks Controversy

Trump's War Department Rebranding Sparks Controversy

President Trump wants to change the name of the Defense Department back to the War Department.

He thinks this will make him look tough.

Some people think this is a bad idea.

One worry is that it might make the US look aggressive to other countries like China and Russia.

Others feel it could make the military more focused on fighting.

Changing the name won't actually happen unless Congress agrees.

Some people are worried that it means the military will be used more often, even in the US.

The move has sparked debate about what the name means for how America is seen by others.
