DAVID MARCUS: In Trump's Department of War, it's soldiers — not experts — calling the shots

From the Easter Sunday rescue to Trump's Tuesday ultimatum, the shift from defense to war redefines U.S. military strategy

When President Donald Trump changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War last year, many saw it as merely a branding exercise, but as the fierceness of Operation Epic Fury in Iran has shown us, it was much, much more than that.

On Easter Sunday, our military pulled off a daring rescue of a downed airman behind enemy lines, and what it made clear, once again, is that Trump’s Department of War is run by soldiers, not by experts, and the results are phenomenal.

As Secretary of War and former frontline veteran Pete Hegseth has put it many times, his Pentagon will focus on "maximum lethality, not tepid legality."
