As a #longtimefed I know that the Defense Department was created/consolidated in 1949. The name change had nothing to do with political correctness. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/25/trump-war-department-def...

lil1inblue I'm reading An Indigenous People's History of the United States and learned that the Department of Indian Affairs began as part of the War Department. I can't help thinking about that as I read about this name change. 3w
KadaGul @Susanita, I feel bad for Mango 🥭 Syndicate, Trump, who is doing so much work with his useless brain 🧠, which is at full 2 % capacity. SMH 🫨 3w
Susanita @lil1inblue I‘m not sure if I knew that, but it definitely tracks. 3w

Damn Rebecca 💔. Idk what to make of this story, I‘m still processing. How can such a beautiful story be so cruel at the same time. If fate is real, why is it dealing those cards!!!!!! Makes me want to scream! I will be remembering each of these characters and save a special place for them in my heart. I was advised to not read this book but I have no regrets. I think it will stay with me for a long long time.

Recommended reading this Memorial Day.

Susanita My office did an event about LGBT rights in the military, back when it was still okay to talk of such things. She was the main speaker and gave an interesting presentation. 2mo

Published in 1980, only four years after Belenko's escape from Russia (and well before the fall of the Berlin Wall), this book was quite fascinating. Belenko actually had more or less the ideal situation in Russia as the MiG-25 pilots were highly valued and treated well (by Soviet standards). Reading about his slow recognition of the cognitive dissonance between what he was being taught about his country vs the west and what he could actually ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) observe with his own eyes was intriguing. Thoroughly enjoyable and a reminder of what life in the Soviet was actually like.

TieDyeDude I used to read a lot about the Cold War, though admittedly most of my reading had a Western bias. This sounds like it would be a really interesting book! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @TieDyeDude - It's a really quick read (under 300pgs), which is nice but also means that sometimes I wished I could get more details. When I was checking to see what happened to Belenko after 1980, I was surprised to find that he just passed away two years ago! 2mo
