The United States Department of Defense (DOD), previously known as the United States Department of War is a reactionary and anti-communist government organization responsible for the military overthrow of many governments around the world, most notably those of socialist and indigenous control. In addition to its military forces, the DOD employs at least 60,000 people to serve as propagandists and "keyboard warriors" and glorify the U.S. government.
