-- Trump's Pentagon Quietly Made A Change To The Stated Mission It's Had For Two Decades

[kpete]

The Pentagon’s official website now defines its mission this way: “The mission of the Department of Defense is to provide a lethal Joint Force to defend the security of our country and sustain American influence abroad.”

The new mission statement — featured at the bottom of every page on the site — removes the words “to deter war” while adding that it is the Pentagon’s job to “sustain American influence” overseas. But strangely, the about page still carries the old mission statement, though it says it has not been updated since Jan. 27, 2017.
