For those who don't know it, this is the name the department has had for most of its history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_...

This is a good name even if you are against wars like I am.

Calling it "Defense" just gives the wrong impression that most of the money goes towards "defending" ourselves instead of attacking others. We should avoid euphemisms when naming government agencies.
