The National Security Act of 1947 renamed the Department of War to the Department of Defense. And *that* is the point of having our military: to defend us, and our Constitution. In our current system, it isn't harder to wage war, but it is harder to sustain the political will to keep an unpopular war going, which is as it should be.
