Of Course, You Know ... This Means War

Ed Morrissey

Congress will have to act to make it official. I'd expect that to be accomplished in the all-but-certain continuing resolution that will need to pass by the end of the month as a rider on spending that Democrats can't afford to tank. Even apart from the symbolic sense of focusing on warfighting, as Pete Hegseth likes to remind everyone, it also makes sense in a different way. If we have a Department of Homeland Security, why would we need a Department of Defense?
