- lelanthran 10mo ago> The DOD also made the Waterfall method THE standard software development process. I'm sure they also made a few bad decisions too :-P
- Koshkin 10mo agoYou mean, "DOW"
- layer8 10mo agoDepartment of Waterfall?
- zabzonk 10mo agoDepartment of War.
- quesera 10mo agoThat is not the official name, and it is highly unlikely that it ever will be in the future.
- runjake 10mo agoIt's worth pointing out the Department of Defense was named the Department of War for over 150 years, up until 1947. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Wa...
- quesera 10mo agoTrue, but it required congressional approval to change the name then, and it would now as well. This congress is not likely to approve it. And the next congress, even less so. That said, "ever" is probably too strong. There's a window wherein the chaos which is currently being actively created by the US will develop to an extent that compels the US (or is sold to US voters as a necessary step) to adopt a foreign policy where it would be the more appropriate title. And if the adults can't manage that with charismatic leadership in the next election cycle or two, we could be right back here again, with quasi-legitimate geopolitical justification for the sort of big-stick wagging we see today. I honestly think this is the goal, and I'm not sure the American people are up to the challenge of preventing it.
- zabzonk 10mo agoIn the UK, War Office --> Ministry of Defence, in the 60s I think.
