Of course the name was changed so as to hide that the government was going on the offense and has been for the last 80+ years. For the same reason it stopped calling that "offense" war. The name "defense" was to justify its continuous expansion and funding outside of declared wars. Calling it the Department of War encourages people to cut the budget during peacetime. This is a problem if you want to wage war and expand the military while pretending it's peacetime. Something Trump seeks to do.
