This is actually what they want and one of the few things that makes sense. They did it in part, because they think defense sounds weaker than war, but also the US is often involved in wars. So defense really didn't fit well.

I don't want to confirm nor deny thay, but diplomats of most nations chose "defense" to appear less hostile and get better deals and partnerships going. They are on to something as well 🙂

Modern diplomats should play 4x games as a requirement
