>Nuclear, Biological, Chemical threats and defensive postures The Department of Defense is a misleading name since it spent a large % of its historical budget on offense and invasion. The use of the words 'defensive and defense' are always misleading in the US context and should not be taken literally in my opinion. US history makes this clear.

  I expect it was also too on the nose because it telegraphed future potential punches to the less observant % of the world population.
