Welcome to the War Department

With the world a mass of impenetrable and largely incomprehensible conflict, the USA's Department of War - formerly known as the Department of Defense - recently put out this jingoistic campaign, which openly refers to recent global events such as US-Iran tensions and the US kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Iran clearly stated today that it would respond to any US "act of aggression" after US President Donald Trump said he was considering a limited strike on Iran. Many greeted the campaign with praise, and relief at the clarity of its message as well as its inspirational tone and respect for serving members of the nation's armed forces. Some questioned the timing, others wondered whether it's a recruitment ad or more of a PR exercise. It can be seen as a smoke and mirrors distraction to the ongoing revelations related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, and it's also attracted condemnation as promotion for the 'corporate interests' of modern warfare. Your thoughts?
