Many of us have been comparing ICE and the SS since it’s inception alongside the Department of Homeland Security post-9/11.
9/11 ended up being way more successful than Osama Bin Laden could ever have imagined. It just took an extra 25 years for the Republican party to destroy the country from within like he wanted.
In the same creepy category, the Department of Defense used to be called the Department of War until 1947. Wouldn’t be surprised if they switched back soon.
They won’t. They switched it because it’s easy to justify spending any amount of money on “defending” yourself. If they switched it back, it would cost them some support.
Have you ever met anyone in active duty? Every single marine is fueled by a six pack of Monster, punching each other in the dicks for fun, and eating crayons for lunch.
I have actually, even talked in depth with a few at a country fayre after the recruiter had pissed off along with on several RAF & Army bases the actual soldiers are generally quite intelligent and those working in SIGINT are often very intellignet.

Wikipedia recently added DHS to the list of Secret Police organizations. 👀
This is something that’s always chilled me since they created it. To me, “Homeland” always had that echo of Nazi Germany’s “Fatherland”.

Yup, euphemistic language is preferred. It’s all very Orwellian. Soon the Supreme Court will be the Department of Truth.
Fatherland is still used in many countries/languages, hell even polish uses “Ojczyzna”.
“Department of Homeland Security” is almost as oxymoronic as “Military Intelligence” or “Department of Justice”
How is military intelligence oxymoronic?
