there is a conspiracy that a bunch of countries are working together to lower u.s. dominance to get the u.s. to stop interfering in other countires and to give other countries more bargaining power or whatever.  i understand that but i would say that is not happening the u.s. has been interfering in quite a few things more than anyone could have guessed  i would say that conspiracy is not right

if they are taking money to become powerful, whose money are they taking?  i am homeless they are not taking my money. 

The department of war was created in 1789 and existed until 1947, when it split in to separate departments. it went by the national military establishment from 1947 to 1949 and was renamed department of defense in 1949. the national military establishment, NME, was renamed because it sounded like "enemy". The name "Department of War" was abandoned during a 1947 Cabinet reorganization, and the current name "Department of Defense" was adopted two years later.   the current admin was born in 1946 but the name wasnt officially changed until 1949. i wonder if there is some personal thing going on there with the name of the dept. the thing is the dept belongs to everyone born in the u.s. kind of childish looking to change the name. kind of like it was a personal childhood problem. as in there was an infatuation with the name in their childhood. and want to rename it because of a childhood fascination. to me it looks like changing the name is more of a psychological war.  department of defense is different psychologically than the department of war.  anyone who the dept is at odds will now see the dept of war instead of dept of defense.   so if you currently are a target of the dept they are telling you they are called dept of war. to me it looks like a name change because of 25 people somewhere. when you are fighting the department of war you are fighting the war of 25 people. not the u.s. citizens i believe.

Great question—because the answer is nuanced and reveals a lot about how power is balanced in the U.S. government.

⚖️ Constitutional Tug-of-War

The U.S. Constitution splits control of the military between Congress and the President:

BranchPowers Over the MilitaryCongress | - Declares war (Article I, Section 8)
- Funds the military
- Regulates forces
President | - Serves as Commander-in-Chief (Article II, Section 2)
- Directs military operations

So while the President commands the military, Congress controls its purse strings and decides when and how it can be used in war2.

🧠 Real-World Dynamics

• Congress has declared war only 11 times in U.S. history. Most modern conflicts (Vietnam, Iraq, etc.) were authorized through resolutions, not formal declarations.
• The War Powers Resolution of 1973 tried to rein in presidential authority by requiring notification and time limits on troop deployments without congressional approval.
• In practice, presidents often act first—especially in emergencies or short-term operations—and Congress reacts later.

🛡️ Civilian Control

Both branches are civilian-led, which is a cornerstone of American democracy. The military is subordinate to elected officials, not generals or admirals.

So, does Congress control the military? Not directly. But it holds the keys to war, money, and oversight. The President may drive the tank—but Congress decides if there’s fuel in it.
