thanks for the report, will check.

hmm, it says on wiki: "The United States secretary of defense (SecDef), secondarily titled the secretary of war (SecWar)"

"Secondarily titled" is not a thing in our constitution, so it is correct to use "Defense".

Also I just noticed in my pedantry I typed Department of Justice. Embarrassing.

    This is such a weird hill to die on. I'm pretty sure none of the cabinet positions are described by the constitution, so I'm not sure citing it here has any relevance at all?
