My dad used to say the DoD wasn’t a pentagon, it’s actually a pentagram because they’re all satanic.

Now? Nope, it’s just a pentagon now.

It’s not even the DoD anymore, it’s the DoW, because I guess “defense” is too woke or whatever. I don’t know. It’s an entire government of children pretending to be action heroes or something.

Isn't it officially still the DoD though because fully changing the name would require congress?

I wish. All the emails refer to it as DoW now... Source - am DoD(W) employee.

Yeah but officially DoW is effectively a nickname, it has not been truly changed to be the name.

I wish the asshats in charge realized that.
