Does any major power call their military department the "War Department" or "War Ministry" anymore? To my knowledge, everyone couches their military in terms of "defense." The era of nakedly aggressive war is over (and while, yes, wars like Iraq were aggressive fundamentally, there was at least a veneer of respectability there that would not have been present even in the early 20th century).
