Renaming the DoD does directly contradict the National Security Act of 1947, which renamed the Department of War to the Department of the Army, and put it under the newly named Department of Defense.
The National Security Act of 1947, as amended on August 10, 1949, establishes the name of the executive department overseeing the military as the Department of Defense.
Someone with 1200 points after 14 years on HN shouldn’t be pointing out green noobs, especially when they are being very reasonable with their comments and you’re objectively wrong.

No renaming happened though.
By the way, your illegal use of the term "DoD" to refer to the Department of Defense is pretty shocking. This isn't authorized by the Act of 1947.

You used “green account” like a slur.

As should you, if you weren't in a similar position to them. Which it seems like you are?
