Department of War Crimes

It used to be called the U.S. Department of Defense,
even in the Cold War days when things were very tense.

But now its been changed to the Department of War.
Can someone please explain to me what the hell for?

Well, we certainly live in interesting times.
Some say it should now be the "Department of War Crimes"!

The HippoPOTUS claims to be a man of peace.
Meanwhile, we pray for his brutality to cease.

He has repeatedly shown that he deserves no peace prize,
with his declarations both impudent and unwise.
