"The Department of Offense"
Great article by Major Danny Sjursen, whom I've posted on before, detailing the propaganda of empire and the curious title of Department of Defense. Let's look at some clever facts he cites:
U.S. troops are deployed in 70% of the world's countries
In the last few years the U.S. has been actively bombing seven nations
The U.S. has not followed the Constitution and actually declared war since 1942
The "Department of War" title was phased on in 1947, becoming the less threatening "Department of Defense"
Military speaks labels actions as counterinsurgency, stabilization operations, and police actions... rarely war
The U.S. has divided the entire planet into geographic military commands with generals overseeing every area
In the U.S. we live inside the belly of a military empire

This is what it means to police the world, placing military all over the world to keep everyone under your thumb.
Imperialism is part of America still till this day.
