We like war because we’re good at it! You know why we’re good at it? Cause we get a lot of practice. This country’s only 200 years old and already, we’ve had 10 major wars. We average a major war every 20 years in this country so we’re good at it!
And it’s a good thing we are; we’re not very good at anything else anymore! Huh? Can’t build a decent car, can’t make a TV set or a VCR worth a fuck, got no steel industry left, can’t educate our young people, can’t get healthcare to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right!

That’s why in the Persian Gulf, George Bush had to say “this will not be another Vietnam!” He actually used these words, he said: “This time, we’re going all the way!” Imagine, an American president using the sexual slang of a 13 year-old to describe his foreign policy.

The older ones are harder to track down. Don't forget to listen to him read his book Brain Droppings. There's also 'Napalm and Silly Putty', 'Sometimes a Little Brain Damage Can Help', and 'When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops' amongst others. Then there's several audio-only albums from the 70s: FM & AM, Class Clown, Occupation: Foole, Toledo Window Box, On The Road, A Place For My Stuff. The man was one prolific writer.
I’ve noticed that, unlike Twitter, no major journalists are using this new name. For example The Economist & BBC consistently refer to Hegseth as the “Secretary of Defense”

Journalist resistance has waned a lot the past year, but I do appreciate little things like this, and how basically no one adopted the “Gulf of America” change either. I mean, I’d like the press to show some actual backbone but nevertheless it’s still gratifying to see refusal to play along with Trump’s newspeak rebranding attempts.
They can change the names of things to their heart's content, but it's still the Department of Defense, it's still the Gulf of Mexico, it's still War Crimes.
