“War Department” was Accurate. “Defense Department” is DoubleSpeak.

-President Eisenhower warning about the Cold War and its unjustified military spending proposals.

Not many remember Eisenhower, a 5-star General, was “Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe,” with responsibility for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany.

His was no trivial warning. He predicted our current multi-Trillion dollar welfare for weapons manufacturers.

See if after you read this – you can dispute that the United States “War Department” is colluding with military corporations to wage — Perpetual War against Peace.

Until 1947 our military boasted that it was in the war business. Armed conflict was conducted by our “War Department.”

However, in the face of growing worldwide calls for peace, including the creation of the United Nations, our War Department deceptively renamed itself (in two steps) – but kept the same mission, values and massively expanded its goals: as in Perpetuate and grow the war machine at any cost.

Remember the little armed conflict in Libya 2011. We, Obama and (Hillary) Clinton, started it. (I didn’t know the US had seized 30 Billion of Libya’s money and given it to the rebels.)

No one can forget the US’ longest wars – Afghanistan and Iraq (Bush II) and the US bombing of Pakistan since 2004 (Bush II and Obama).

Do you have any idea how many years the US has been completely war-free since World War II ?

Answer: The US has been in at least one armed conflict every single day going back to 1989 – — with no vacations.

Every Single Day since 1989 the US has been firing military weapons in at least one war. (This does not include the “war on terror” because that is not a genuine war since terrorism is only a tactic – not an enemy.)

Oddly, the last time the US had a whole year’s vacation from War was in 1985 – during Ronald Reagan’s tenure as President.

Prior to that the Vietnam war began in 1953 and lasted until 1975. We did get a real five year respite after WW-2 from 1945 to 1950 – when the Korean War began.

A bill to create a Cabinet Level Department of Peace was introduced by Congressman Kucinich. The military-industrial complex has successfully prevented it from advancing in Congress.
