Are we in for another renaming, Secretary of Peace?

“War is peace”. Indeed. The USAF should have received the nobel price in August 1945 for achieving almost total peace in two Japanese cities, when it vaporised thousands of women and children in cold blood

While this makes zero logical sense, given what Nobel Peace Prize winners tend to do after acquiring said prize, this is not as farfetched as it may look.

When you look over past recipients, it would fit as the fully mature phase of the institution.
