Change the title of the Ministry of Defence to the Ministry of Attack

Petition Details

I believe the current title is misleading and the proposed title is much more appropriate given the general nature of it's business.

Additional Information

The Ministry Of Defence was formally established in 1964, since which time it has overseen 12 military engagements. Out of these 12, UK borders have been threatened on only 2 occasions at most (The Falklands War and The Troubles). On the remaining 10 occasions, the Armed Forces were operating within another nations borders.

The Oxford dictionary defines 'attack' as:

(verb)

Take aggressive military action against (a place or enemy forces) with weapons or armed force.
