. . . the government agency that administers such activities the Department of *Defense*.

It is the offense, stupid. he offensive Department of Offense. The Department of Empire. The Department of Threats. The My Dick is Bigger than Your Dick Department.

But "defense"?

3. All of those are good.
So is the Department of War.

5. And also maybe the Department of Aggressive Aggression. Oops, I forgot, we're
keeping 'em there so they don't come here. How could I forget.
