Why do US media outlets still call it the DoD when the department's own website calls itself Department of War (https://www.war.gov/). Is this trying to downplay the new agenda?

@rene_mobile@infosec.exchange DoW is a secondary name now, only an act of Congress can change the primary name which remains the DoD. Presumably a new administration of a different party will rescind the exec order for the DoW name.

@rene_mobile@infosec.exchange Same reason sane people still call it the Gulf of Mexico?
