Trump?s ?Department of War? Rebrand Sparks a Bigger Debate
Historian and author Ivan Eland joined The Final 5 to discuss President Trump?s push to rename the Department of Defense back to the ?Department of War.? Eland argued that the shift could actually bring more honesty about America?s military actions, noting that since the name change in 1947, U.S. leaders have avoided declaring formal wars while engaging in questionable overseas conflicts. He said presidents now act unilaterally, sidestepping Congress?s constitutional authority, and believes reviving the old name could highlight the true nature of America?s military power. Eland also previewed his new book, "Domestic Causes of American Wars: Economic and Political Triggers."
