If you like 1984 and doublethink, then you'll enjoy this. Department of War was rebranded as Department of Defense three months after 1984 was published. Life imitating art? And ever since, the Department of Defense has engaged in offensive wars all over the world nonstop. Though I suppose the best defense is a good offense...

To be fair, 1984 was published in 1948. Just about the right time for Department of War to be renamed for appropriate reasons.

It's the right name though, in my opinion.
