The Department of War was a U.S. cabinet department (1789–1947) that managed the Army and military affairs. After World War II, it was reorganized into the modern Department of Defense, with the Army, Navy, and newly formed Air Force under one umbrella. Essentially, it was the Pentagon’s precursor.
President Trump publicly floated renaming the Department of Defense (DoD) to the historical title “Department of War,” claiming “defense” sounds passive and that the U.S. needs to project its capacity for offense as well as defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed the sentiment, referring to the DoD as the “Department of War,” and stating that a name change might be “coming soon.”
It could be pay day for Mike Mann‘s DomainMarket; the experienced domain investor owns DepartmentOfWar.com, listed for sale with the following message:

The asking price, $2,888 dollars, seems to be rather low for such a historic name with strong potential for the future. The domain DepartmentOfWar.com was registered in 2012 although it existed prior as early as in 2001, according to DomainTools.
Someone should tell Mike to jack up the asking price tenfold before it’s too late! 😀
