“The attempt to rechristen the DOD the ‘Department of War,’ it could be argued, is itself a hallmark of attempting to larp the tough guy while trivializing institutions the administration does not fully understand or value. I think the problem is deeper, however, than just immature bravado. I think senior civilian leadership in this administration has an overwhelmingly gamified way of thinking about war.” (03/31/26)
